VENICE, CA, APRIL 29, 2013: Blik, the innovative maker of self-adhesive surface graphics, announces a new product category for the 10+ year old company: Surface Skins. Surface Skins is a brand new line of super durable, self-adhesive art that allows you to personalize just about any large surface in your home or office quickly and easily. Use them to cover desks, tables, cabinets or bookshelves.

Surface Skins were developed to bring some graphic goodness to boring furnishings using a new film that allows the design to be “floated” over the selected surface during installation. The skin’s lamination provides a durable, protection to surfaces and makes them easy to apply and remove. Similar to the concept of personalizing your cellphone or laptop, Surface Skins let you to bring art off the walls and onto other objects in your home.

“We had the idea a few years ago and finally found a new material that made Surface Skins a possibility,” said Scott Flora, Blik co-founder. “It’s an exciting new direction and product category for Blik.”
