Product details
Matching tiebacks enhance the fulness of the fabric and add a traditional and decorative accent to your window treatment. Adjust the height to create a look that best suits you.
Cotton is a soft, durable and easy-care natural material that you can machine wash.
The curtains let the daylight through but provide privacy so they are perfect to use in a layered window solution.
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.

Beautiful curtains from leftover fabric
LENDA curtains have been part of our range for around 20 years, much appreciated for the soft atmosphere they bring to the room and the gentle way light filters through their cotton fabric.
“It’s not something you’d notice when hanging your curtains, but together with our supplier, we’ve managed to create a fabric made from 50% leftover cotton from the textile industry,” says an enthusiastic Karin Svensson, one of our textile engineers.
Leftovers are spun into new yarn
In almost all textile production, leftover yarn and fabric scraps are common. For a long time, they’ve often been discarded because they weren’t seen as the resource they really are. “We know cotton production uses a lot of water and chemicals. So, when leftover textiles get thrown away, it’s a huge waste of resources,” Karin says. Just like we did, our supplier saw the value in saving those scraps and developed a method where textiles are shredded into fibres that can be spun into new yarn. A certain amount of unbleached cotton fibres must be added to achieve the right yarn strength. “To create LENDA curtain in different colours, the supplier used textile leftovers in selected hues. But because the raw materials are different, the colour can shift slightly as a nice reminder of where the fabric comes from.”
Recycling starts with the right choices
The LENDA project is an important step toward our goal of using only renewable or recycled materials in our products. Through her work, Karin has seen just how complex the traditional textile industry can be. “Different materials and colours are often mixed, which makes recycling difficult. With LENDA, we've learned that we have to think about sustainability right from the start – and find creative solutions with whatever conditions we're working with."
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.
