Roland DG has launched Dimense Surface, a new collection of textured wall coverings designed to give interiors a more tactile, immersive feel. The line targets architects and designers looking beyond traditional wallpaper, combining visual detail with raised surfaces that invite touch.
Dimense Surface was introduced at the London Design Festival 2026, held in September with a new visual identity by Pentagram. The launch’s Collaboration Series features exclusive designs from four studios. Nice Projects is based in London, while Keiji Ashizawa Design is based in Tokyo. Loveisenough, based in New York, and London studio JAM also contributed. Their patterns demonstrate the range of effects possible with Roland DG’s Dimense technology, as detailed in a press release from PR Newswire. The launch event took place at SCP, 135 Curtain Road, Shoreditch, London, from 15 to 18 September 2026, under the title 'A New Era for Texture-Led Design'.
The Dimense DA-640 printer is basic to the process. New print heads and a patented structural ink control where texture appears. As the material moves through the printer, heat expands the surface by up to 2 mm, creating raised patterns that are visible and tangible. The wall covering adds physical texture to a space alongside color and imagery. Roland DG’s official press release confirms these details.
Dimense Surface also includes in-house designs for residential and commercial spaces, including hospitality settings, alongside its high-profile collaborations. Authorized Dimense print providers handle production, bringing the technology within reach of more businesses. PR Newswire reports that there is no minimum order, making the product accessible for projects of any size.
Andrew Oransky, Chief Strategy Officer at Roland DG, said Dimense Surface represents a major step for the company and its partners. He said the combination of design talent and digital printing could create new opportunities for print providers and help interior professionals incorporate textured walls into their projects.
Sustainability is basic to the Dimense Surface approach. The collection is produced digitally on demand, allowing short runs and reducing excess inventory and waste. Water-based inks and PVC-free, odorless wallpaper let designers create custom solutions without minimum order requirements. Roland DG says this flexibility helps lower environmental impact across the supply chain.
Orders for Dimense Surface are now open through authorized print providers and the official website. The launch comes as the interior design industry faces growing pressure to deliver new idea and sustainability. Roland DG’s move may prompt competitors to rethink their own products.
The underlying technology isn’t entirely new, but its use at this scale stands out for its focus on design partnerships and sustainability. On-demand production of custom, tactile wall coverings meets rising demand for personalization in interiors. The environmental focus reflects broader industry trends. Roland DG aims to set a new standard for what wall coverings can offer in design and responsibility.
