Sheer curtains, 1 pair, white/with heading tape, 145x250 cm

When we create products from recycled polyester, PET bottles and other sources of polyester get a new life in products like textiles, storage boxes, kitchen fronts and even lamps. When using them, you get to enjoy exactly the same quality and function as with virgin polyester products. And naturally, they’re just as clean and safe in every way. And perhaps the very best part – you contribute to using less new raw materials too.

The sheer fabric diffuses daylight entering the room when it is brighter outside, and softens glare on TV’s and digital screens. It gives a sense of still being connected to the world outside. In the daytime, people outdoors can perceive shapes and silhouettes indoors, but at night, when the room is lit, there is no privacy. Sheer fabric is ideal for layered window solutions.

Sheer curtains are an easy and decorative way to create some privacy, even if you live in a densely populated area with windows facing the street or other houses. My idea when I designed the sheer curtains was for them to function both on their own and together with blackout curtains. I designed some with graphic patterns and others with more romantic patterns, and worked with both woven and knitted fabrics ‒ so there’s bound to be something for everyone!
