Feb 7 2008Magnetic Curtains Are Kind Of A Neat Idea
These magnetic curtains, by designer Florian Kräutli are, you'd never guess by the name -- magnetic. The curtains contain hundreds of little circular magnets, allowing you to arrange your window treatments with just the right amount of crinkle to suit your taste. I'm really digging them. Almost as much as I'm digging that room in the picture, which, incidentally, is my office. We don't have desks or anything, just a couple of chairs and lots of debris on the floor. The boss said it's supposed to increase productivity, but so far it's just increased the occurrence of all-day office chair races.
A ton more pictures of the curtains after the jump, with a bunch of closeups.

I'd be throwing paperclips at them all day.

you'd have to have a really post-modern, expensive home for that curtain thing to fly. It looks real cool when you have one sheet of it over a huge window but hang that puppy in my apartment and it'll look like artistically draped insulation. I think it's the color.....

ohh. see i thought there was some big magnet at the top that u could control the curtain with.. but i guess that could create problems with pacemakers...
