Florian Krautli is a Swiss designer and developer working in London. In his research he explores interactive data, visualizations of cultural data, and representations of time and time spans.
Florian has designed a Magnetic Curtain. He claims it’s a curtain that you can shape to any structure. The way he made it was he embedded magnets that are in a diamond shaped grid within the curtains fabric, which would allow the consumer to shape the curtain in a number of ways.
The way one would operate the curtain is simply just by pushing it so the magnets attract together to close the curtain or by pulling the fabric so the magnets clip apart to open it.
The design is a white fabric that is transparent enough to let some light travel through it, which is quite nice when the curtain is folded for the reason that it creates some nice geometries.
