In brief
This online catalogue is presenting Tipotapete (TT) collection of wallpapers.

TipoTapete wallpaper patterns are constructed from TT fonts which don't consist from normal alphabet characters but from abstract shapes and ornaments that connect and allow easy manipulation and combining of multiple pattern units to form various different patterns, unrepetitive textures and compositions by simply typing a keyboard ... A word, a phrase, a text can be encoded in the design or it can just consist or random combination of characters. Potentially customers themselves will be able to type their own wallpaper! Now first examples of this fresh approach to designing patterns are available at Berlin tapete.


1. Pattern units as font characters
Every wallpaper design is constructed from one or more than one Tipotapete fonts.
Tipotapete fonts are like all other fonts, and therefore consist out of a set of characters. The TT characters are not usually letters but instead they are abstract shapes, ornaments and sometimes expressive letterforms, that connect to form patterns, textures ... (example A) Every character is a pattern unit.





The main interesting features of TT fonts are:

2. Unrepetitive designs
By using TT fonts it is very simple to design a normal repetative pattern with one unit (examples B, C, D) but TT fonts allow us to construct also complex unrepetative textures and compositions by typing a random combination of caracters (E).

3. Typing the design
One can design this by simply typing the characters using the keyboard just like writing a normal text document. TT characters can be manipulated just like normal fonts using tools and parameters like size, leading, scale, color, stroke, gradient (after you create outlines from fonts)

4. Encoding messages
One can therefore encode a message, a specific word (D), a certain text like a poem, a saying in the design of the wallpaper.

5. Axiomatic method*
This universal concept among other things observes how a relatively small number of elemental particles give birth to a huge, almost neverending number of complex results/combinations of these particles.This concept is the backbone of TipoTapete fonts and designs they can produce.
