In the domestic domain, a curtain is a spatial
gesture that draws a visual and psychological
boundary to create variation in the space. As
the curtain falls, stories on the home stage
unfold. The layered experience generated by
this simple object interludes obscuring and
revealing to accommodate varied needs of
inhabitants.
The subtle play of light and shadow it enacts
furthers the aesthetic relations between
spatial components – how the light is
reflected from a material surface and how
the shadow touches a form. As a curtain
alters the presence of light, it also shifts the
atmosphere of a place, introducing gradation
into the visual sphere and enriching the
narrative of the home design at large.
