Roland DG has introduced Dimense Surface, a new line of wall coverings that use advanced printing to create textured, tactile finishes. The collection features exclusive patterns and aims to offer a more sustainable option for interior design.
Roland DG has launched Dimense Surface, a new collection of textured wall coverings designed to give interiors a more tactile, immersive feel. The line is aimed at architects and designers looking for something beyond traditional wallpaper, combining visual detail with raised surfaces you can actually touch.
Dimense Surface was introduced at the London Design Festival 2026, which took place in September with a new visual identity by Pentagram. The Collaboration Series, part of the launch, includes exclusive designs from four studios: Nice Projects (London), Keiji Ashizawa Design (Tokyo), Loveisenough (New York), and JAM (London). Each studio contributed its own patterns, showing the range of effects possible with Roland DG’s Dimense technology, as detailed in a press release from PR Newswire.
The Dimense Surface launch event was held at SCP, 135 Curtain Road, Shoreditch, London, from 15–18 September 2026, under the title 'A New Era for Texture-Led Design'.
The Dimense DA-640 printer is at the core of the process. It uses new print heads and a patented structural ink to control exactly where texture appears. As the material moves through the printer, heat expands the surface by up to 2 mm, creating raised patterns that are both visible and tangible. This means the wall covering adds not just color and image, but a physical presence to the space. These details are confirmed in Roland DG’s official press release.
Dimense Surface isn’t limited to high-profile collaborations. The collection also includes in-house designs for residential, hospitality, and commercial spaces. Production is handled by authorized Dimense print providers, making the technology available to a wider range of businesses. According to PR Newswire, there’s no minimum order, so the product is accessible for both large and small projects.
Andrew Oransky, Chief Strategy Officer at Roland DG, said that Dimense Surface represents a major step for the company and its partners. He pointed to the mix of design talent and digital printing as a way to create new opportunities for print providers and help interior professionals bring textured walls into their projects.
The Dimense Surface collection is produced using water-based inks and a PVC-free, odorless wallpaper material, which is particularly important for commercial interiors and public tenders where environmental standards are increasingly stringent.
Sustainability is a key part of the Dimense Surface approach. The collection is produced digitally on demand, which allows for short runs and reduces excess inventory and waste. The materials—water-based inks and a PVC-free, odorless wallpaper—let designers create custom solutions without minimum order requirements. This flexibility helps lower the 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 both innovation and sustainability, and Roland DG’s move may prompt competitors to rethink their own products.
While the underlying technology isn’t entirely new, its use at this scale, with a strong focus on design partnerships and sustainability, stands out. The ability to produce custom, tactile wall coverings on demand meets a rising demand for personalization in interiors, while the environmental focus matches broader industry trends. Roland DG’s goal is clear: to set a new standard for what wall coverings can offer, both in design and in responsibility.
