Inside Out Blog


Was soooo very delighted to be featured on the INSIDE OUT blog today.

"Remember the love and effort that you used to put into making a mix tape?
Well try translating that into an artwork. Music loving designer Marika Järv has in her 
'Wall of Sound' prints and we're huge fans."

Thanks Inside Out for the ever-so-lovely intro!

And I will admit, I am hugely flattered that despite the mountain of ah-maz-ing things that the
Inside Out team must see each day, my Wall of Sound prints have found a
happy place in a couple of their homes—so yes they really are FANS!   

Anyway, you can read all about my favourite music moments, plus a little bit about the
making of Wall of Sound by clicking here.

Enjoy!

ShopSmart in the Sunday Telegraph


"Naming every band you've danced to is hard enough, but entwining 500 of them into a record-shaped artwork is on another level altogether. Marika Järv spent five years perfecting the Wall of Sound as a nod to record producer Phil Spector's mixing technique. The result is a mesmerising work that links artists by the first and last letters of their names."

Thanks to Clare Patience from Inside Out for picking Wall of Sound as her "DON'T MISS" product in last weekend's ShopSmart guide in the Sunday Telegraph.

GQ Men Of The Year 2012


GQ Men of The Year issue is out now—
with WALL of SOUND featured as # 1 on their 'THE HIT LIST'!

"We're loving these limited-edition prints by Marika Järv. Entitled Wall of Sound and named after the production technique pioneered by legendary music producer Phil Spector (crazy hair, murder conviction), they feature the names of over 500 musicians arranged in a spiral like the grooves of a record. They're a subtle way to add an arty touch to your walls, though what we like most is Järv's attention to detail. In black, gold or clear—only 100 of each are available, so get in quick."

Thanks for the nice words GQ—
oh and thanks for putting Chris Hemsworth on the cover too 
(yikes)! 

PS. Congrats to Nick Littlemore and Peter Mayes from Pnau for winning "Band of the Year"

(I think you might find them hidden somewhere on the Wall of Sound...!)

Inside Out Summer Entertaining Special


"Don't underestimate the importance of good music. You can really set the mood for the 
evening —whether it is relaxed or upbeat, music is the key to a good party."

The Inside Out Summer Entertaining Special is now out and is chock-full of goodness.
Like the above tip from Vogue Editor-in-Chief Edwina McCann; it's her advice when posed the question—What does every fabulous soiree need? And I couldn't agree more.

Another great tip, and alongside Edwina on page 20, is the 'Editor's pick' for the summer 
Shopping + News guide, and oh looky there is a sneaky pic of WALL of SOUND!

Belle Magazine Dec/Jan 2012-13


"Marika Järv is the designer behind PrintDolls who started the craze for tram-roll art. 
Her new work, 'Wall of Sound', is inspired by a vinyl album."

Big thanks to Belle's Managing Editor Tanya Buchanan for including the Wall of Sound 
in her 'Belle Inbox—Note to self: Must put these events and pieces top of the list'.

The latest issue of Belle: The Holiday Issue, has one of the most gorgeous covers ever!
(I'm a sucker for anything neon coral at the moment!)
So fun and colourful—and how cool are the bespoke walls tiles by designer
Jonathan Adler (co-owner of the Shelter Island home featured). 

There are some truly fabulous homes on show in this month's issue;  
below is a little sneak peek of my favourites.
