Reflecting the world

Transparent Reflect is a metallised curtain textile designed by Louise Sigvardt, with an airy, elegant expression. It combines a leno-woven front side of fine polyester yarns with an aluminium backing, delivering light and heat-controlling properties, spectacular view-through and daytime privacy benefits.

The concept

Inspired by the concept of viewing the world through soft and calming colour filters, Transparent Reflect comes in 7 neutral yarn-dyed shades which echo solid colours, as if they have been held up to the light. These notes have been designed to create a sophisticated dynamic with its metallised layer, which gives the curtain a softly shimmering surface.

The process

Defining the colours for Transparent Reflect was an abstract process. It was done by observing how light moves through various colours. The result is a palette that is toned down and hazy, like when the sun breaks through a colour.

Part of the lauch of the Transparent Reflect, was creating abstract images, that embodied the ethos of the curtain.
