Graphic designer and artist Stefan Hengst views walls as places to tell stories—surfaces that become a “second skin” for projecting images and narratives. Whether it’s the stark white wall of a gallery or the time-worn beauty of a fresco, Stefan invites us to look deeper, uncovering layers of meaning in architectural motifs, urban landscapes, and natural forms. His approach blends his fascination with structure and texture with a boundless exploration of material possibilities, leading his work in exciting new directions.

 

WANDD is thrilled to introduce his latest high-end wallpaper series: the RICE Collection. A tribute to rice, a staple that sustains over a third of the world’s population and symbolizes abundance, good fortune, and prosperity across cultures, this collection captures these values in artful designs. Each of the six patterns starts with an intricate layout of rice grains on glass, scanned and digitally transformed to retain each grain's organic beauty while creating bold, versatile wall coverings.

​

Available in designs like Arroz Bomba, Forbidden Rice, Long Grain, Broken Rice, Wild Rice, and Basmati, the RICE collection offers a unique interplay of detail and pattern. Every design invites close appreciation of each grain’s shape and texture, merging the beauty of the natural world with contemporary design. Want to see it up close? Contact us to order a sample.
