This wallpaper by Francesco Rugi and Silvia Quintanilla of Milan design collective Carnovsky is actually three patterns in one — a red, green and blue (RGB). The overlapping designs create a visual cacophony of color and pattern but individual patterns can be filtered out by colored light or colored filters.
Why it is a bit headache inducing — it is also really cool. For the full effect, see even more images at Yatzer | RGB Wallpapers by Carnovsky for Jannelli e Volpi.

The idea is great. To use it, though...I'll be hard-pressed to include it in any scheme.
I'm ususally "Go, Italia" but not this time.
Am I imagining it, or did we see this already?
Definitely saw it on here, but it's so cool that I don't mind the repost.
It is beautiful and completely impossible to live with.
It was posted before, but I was wearing blue glasses at the time, so only saw two-thirds of the original post.
lol patrick !
This seems like the entrance to a science museum. The man looks a bit disturbing for home decor, though the colors are appealing.
On my last gallery exploration in NY I was most thrilled by
a visible man painted on layers of lucite by Brooklyn artist Dustin Yellin. It was astonishingly beautiful, and did not seen gruesome to me like I would expect. Google Dustin Yellin if you like this type of thing.
deja vu, all over again.
Very cool. Definitely CMY though, not RGB.
