Copenhagen-based textile designer Margrethe Odgaard plays with perception of colour and space in this line of satin-woven curtains for Danish brand Kvadrat.
Debuted at this year's Stockholm Furniture Fair, the new curtain collection includes three different styles: Diorama, Panorama and Suite.
Diorama has a delicate pinstripe effect, whilst Panorama has a subtle split in the middle where the direction of weave changes, and Suite has bold vertical stripes in contrasting shades.
All three designs boast a rich colour palette, dyed in a range of 32 colours. They also all features one half that is a "polarised mirror of the other", as one section uses a weave with a subtle shimmer effect, while the other has a more matt finish.
