Midsummer Night's Dream
"The summer solstice in the northern hemisphere is nigh. Every June 21 we celebrate the longest day of the year and, very often, end up dancing like pagans. Being landlocked, we here in Serbia can only dream about tidal waves and having fun at the beach. What will your Midsummer Night's Dream be?" — Designed by PopArt Studio from Serbia.

Summer Nights

Plant For The Future
"June is a time for flowers and the bugs that love them. Pollinators like bees, butterflies, and moths all need habitats where they can find food, water, and shelter. These insects are in decline across the world, but are critical to fertilizing crops and maintaining biodiversity. A new practice among farmers who are installing solar energy is to plant pollinator-friendly flowers underneath the panels. This helps boost crop production, but it's also just a little more intelligent and generous — a couple things we all could grow a little more of." — Designed by The Hannon Group from Washington D.C.

Urban Yogic Life
"The month shares a vital significance as the International Yoga Day falls on June 21st. The beautiful design depicted, brings into limelight the value and aura of the expression. Since we are in a hub of restlessness – an edgy world that longs for a mere breathing moment, it is quite essential to portray and henceforth bring back this art form from the pages of the past. Being a lifestyle choice and a way of exploring oneself, one could say yoga is simply synonymous with tranquility and sound breathing. It is a perspiring practice that evokes inner bliss and nudges us to see the world through a different lens. Hence the image is a collaboration of lifestyle and yoga — the urban yoga — a necessity, much more than just a way." — Designed by Sweans from India.

Please note that we respect and carefully consider the ideas and motivation behind each and every artist's work. This is why we give all artists the full freedom to explore their creativity and express emotions and experience throughout their works. This is also why the themes of the wallpapers weren't anyhow influenced by us, but rather designed from scratch by the artists themselves.
A big thank you to all designers for their participation. Join in next month!
