Macro shot of Calder strip edges sitting on dark felt

UP CLOSE

Upright strips on a felt base

Calder pairs narrow upright strips with a dark felt backing. Stand back and the felt becomes a run of thin shadow lines; flip the panel over and that same felt is what takes the glue or tape.

Panel facts

Strips on a felt backing · nine tones · glue or tape onto a smooth interior surface · narrow it by slicing the felt with a utility knife, shorten it with a fine saw · not for bathrooms, basements or outdoors · a microfiber duster keeps the strips clean.

INSTALL IN THREE MOVES

A Calder wall in an afternoon

01

Mark a plumb line

Wipe the wall, let it dry and draw one straight vertical guide so the first panel starts true.

Size the panels02

Size the panels

Slice the felt between two strips to make a panel narrower, or use a fine saw to shorten it.

Bond and slide03

Bond and slide

Add glue or tape to the felt, line the edge up with your guide and slide each new panel snug against the last.
