Sidewall, Razzmatazz
This is a sidewall. It was manufactured by Stamford Wallpaper Co.. It is dated 1967 and we acquired it in 1969. Its medium is screenprinted and flocked on machine-made paper. It is a part of the Wallcoverings department.
Razzmatazz reflects the period’s taste for op art, which exploited how the eye perceives a dissonant figureground interaction. These papers were intended to be used sparingly, as accents balanced by unadorned adjacent walls. The black flock creates a tactile experience and gives the design a greater sense of depth.
It is credited Gift of William Justema.
