Fantastic light-emitting wallpaper by designer Jonas Samson

People often notice the wallpaper behind my bed: a fluorescent mural of softly pulsating opalescent splatters. "Wow. How did you do that?" they often ask. Experience has taught me that people don't usually like the answer when I point out the concealed black light and hold it closer to the wall to allow them a closer inspection. There's a reason they call me the Caligula of Berlin, and it's not just for my equine fetish.

Still, if you'd like a wall that looks like a 20/20 Special Report on Motel Hygiene, designer Jonas Samson has created some wonderful, light-emitting wallpaper for you. The technology hasn't been revealed, but there are no bulbs involved, which presumably means its environment friendly, as long as the effect isn't achieved with a slathering of radium.

In all seriousness, this is pretty neat. Although it raises the question, at least in my mind: "How do you turn the wall off?"

During a recent flight, I was trying to get an airplane blanket out of the saran-wrap. The passenger next to me said she'd opened her blanket, and a bundle of pretzels and hair had fallen out. "20/20 Special Report" made me think of that.

He fills your wall cavities with throwies.
