Curtains with Magnetic Technology

February 06th, 2008 | Category: Furniture

A curtain is a piece of cloth intended to block or obscure light, for instance at night to aid sleeping, or to stop light from escaping outside the building (stopping citizens outside from being able to see inside, often for privacy reasons). Florian Kräutli a design student at Eindhoven had a very intelligent notion when he made the Magnetic Curtain, a curtain which you can shape to any form”, magnets embedded in the curtain fabric allow the user to shape the curtain innumerable ways, both open and closed. Embedding hundreds of evenly dispersed tiny magnets into a grid of prefab folds allows for the easy manipulation of the silhouette or strategically modifying exposure for light and/or privacy. - Via - Yankodesign & Moco Loco
