Unique perforated curtains
Identical round holes located in,seemingly randomly, they resemble a cross between Tetris blocks and the symbols in the movie "The Matrix". Scandinavian designer Ida Thonsgaard created these original perforated curtains specially for a house in Germany. The main idea was to create an illusory pattern that comes to life only when light penetrates the thick curtain and fills the room with a sparkling shimmer of pearls.
The perforation on the curtain fabric is made with the help oflaser equipment. In the same way, you can apply any abstract ornament, pattern or image to the fabric, for example, a recognizable silhouette of a night city with skyscrapers or a starry sky with all the constellations familiar to us from childhood. Such a modern design of curtains in the spirit of digital technologies will give a stylish look to any interior. Perforated curtains can be hung both in living rooms and in offices, public places or on verandas, terraces. Is it possible to somehow create such perforation with your own hands without a laser, at home? Theoretically, it is possible, but this process will be long and labor-intensive. The technique is called guilloche or burning on fabric, a special device similar to a soldering iron is used - a burner! A needle heated to a high temperature cuts a hole in the fabric, immediately burning the edges. By the way, if you do not have a burner, you can try an ordinary thin soldering iron. The material also matters - it is more convenient to burn artificial fabric.
This version uses thick blackfabric, but if you take a lighter material with perforation, this will allow you to get rid of the blinding sunlight, making it diffused, and the effect of the dotted pattern will remain. If at night the light of lanterns or the Moon, penetrating through the perforation, interferes with sleep, then you can use a second curtain made of thick fabric.
