Off the wall design
Developments in digital printing and adhesives
have transformed interior design by making it
possible to create one-off wall stickers quickly
and cost-effectively. Style-your-wall offers a range
of repositionable wall stickers that adhere to all
standard surfaces including woodchip wallpaper.
The stickers can be removed and reused at
any time without leaving any marks. The German
company offers a selection of standard stickers
designed as windows, portholes or patio doors with
a realistic 3D effect that is claimed to make interiors
appear brighter and larger. Style-your-wall can also
produce stickers to your own specification, with
your own artwork. Prices start at 49 euros excluding
shipping.

FIRA International has expanded
its range of services for furniture
specifiers, interior designers and
procurement professionals with the
launch of free information for anyone
developing or reviewing tenders for
non-domestic and contract furniture.
FIRA Specifier Services includes a
dedicated website, online Specifiers’
Guide and up-to-date information on
current standards for contract furniture,
as well as relevant environmental and
ergonomic issues.
Mark Hayter, senior procurement
manager for North Eastern Universities
Purchasing Consortium, said: “The
FIRA Specifiers’ Guide will become an
essential reference point for procurement
professionals at all levels to assure
quality and value for money are delivered
through their contracts.”
FIRA expects furniture manufacturers
to use the site to find out about the
standards they must fulfil in order to
complete tenders and to keep up-to-date
with the criteria that specifiers look for
when selecting products.

Shades of grey? No thanks
Office equipment doesn’t have to be grey and
boring – not even the office
shredder. New stickers for
HSM shredders, from
the compact Securio
C16 to the high-end
Securio P44, add some
much needed colour to
the most functional of
machines. The stickers
are easy to apply and can
be removed just as easily
without leaving any residue.
