LC0323

A curtain after the performance. The panels are thrown over rings and set in different phases: some sag, others are caught up and raised — movement stopped halfway.

The rings work as both fixing and source: light comes out from inside each one and lifts the drapery from below, the way footlights lift the wings.

The model holds an international award.

By day the illusion deceives the eye: you see folds, tension, the weight of cloth — although the object is rigid and holds its form for years. In the evening the light comes out from inside each ring and lifts the drapery from below, the way footlights lift the wings — the curtain turns out to be on stage.

Where it works

A format for wide spaces with high ceilings: lobbies, banqueting and theatre halls, double-height living rooms, grand staircases.

Selection by space: Hotel lobby and public spaces · Double-height living room · Stairwell · Banquet hall

Style

Theatrical classicism and neo-baroque: velvet, drapes, mouldings, deep colours. The message is the stage — the composition turns entering a room into stepping onto the boards.
