Product details
The fabric dims daylight entering the room and reduces glare. It gives a comfortable sense of privacy as people cannot see in. At night, silhouettes can be perceived from outside when the room is lit.
The 300 cm length allows you to hang the curtain at ceiling height to create a sophisticated, high-ceiling look; or you can hang the curtain above the window and let it puddle on the floor.
The cotton/ramie blend creates a distinct character and texture. The fabric is durable, keeps its shape and is wrinkle-resistant.
Curtains with heading tape allow you to hang the curtain directly on the curtain rod using the rod pocket or tabs. You can also hinge the curtain onto a track rail using gliders and hooks.
Using gliders and hooks usually creates a more formal and dressed-up feel, where hardware is not visible.
The heading tape makes it easy for you to create pleats using RIKTIG curtain hooks.

Hand-painted pattern invites the garden
Apples, fig leaves, winding ivies, roses, marigolds and hollyhocks. The pattern on the VILDPERSILJA curtain and pillows brings summer's lovely abundance and colourful splendour into your home. The inspiration comes from the designer's daily walks.
Designer Emma Prowse loves the winding streets in her hometown, the Swedish medieval town of Visby, and that's where the idea for the VILDPERSILJA pattern was born. "I usually peek into the lush gardens that hide behind high plank fences. There, I can catch a glimpse of lush apple, walnut and fig trees, but also roses and many other amazing flowers in all kinds of colours.” Painted with gouache colours Emma began sketching things she had seen during her walks. "My sketches are always a bit messy and nothing I want to show, but here they were important to test the different plants, investigate how the leaves and flowers can combine and how the pattern can be repeated." In the next step, Emma created the pattern with gouache colour in a summery palette. "With gouache, which is an opaque watercolour, I was able to focus on colour and shape and create depth in the pattern. I wanted to capture that feeling I get when I walk around the gardens."
Timeless pattern with variation
The pattern was printed on fabric that have become cushions and curtains. The cushions are sewn by the meter, so each cushion gets its own unique piece of the pattern. You can choose your personal favourite or combine several different cushions to get a small pattern variation in your sofa. "I wanted to create a pattern that you don't get tired of after a couple of years," says Emma. "It's timeless textiles that suit just as good in a neutral interior as in a more colourful environment." Sometimes it can be okay to take a sneak peek over fences as Emma does, because with VILDPERSILJA, you can get that feeling of an old-fashioned garden in your home – even if you live in the middle of a busy big city.
Material
Ramie and cotton
Ramie is one of the oldest crops used for fabric production, having been used by ancient civilizations in Asia and Egypt for thousands of years. It is known for its great ability to hold its shape. Ramie looks like linen and has a silky sheen. Blended with cotton, you get vivid colours and a greater lustre.
Function solution
The fabric dims the daylight
The fabric dims the daylight entering the room when it is brighter outside, and reduces glare. It gives you a comfortable sense of privacy because people cannot see in during the daytime. At night, when the room is lit, it is possible to perceive shapes and silhouettes from outside.

Designer thoughts
“The pattern for VILDPERSILJA curtain and cushion cover is one that had been simmering in my mind for a while. It’s inspired by the old houses that line the streets of Visby, Gotland where I live, with charming walled gardens full of roses, fruit trees, hollyhocks, ivy, daisies, marigolds, figs and walnut trees. Whether you are looking to add life and a splash of colour to a neutral-toned space or to make your urban flat cosier – this versatile pattern connects you to nature."
