Check out this wonderful magnetic curtain/room divider. I am a bit fascinated by this product as it has a wonderfully strong sculptural presence in a room. It is not yet for sale, but I can imagine it will be very popular once on the market. I love the facets created by connecting seemingly random magnets and the rigid nature of the fabric.
“Given the remarkably attractive qualities—both literal and figurative—of magnets, Kräutli focused on them to create his Magnetic Curtain. Though it is not in production yet, the Magnetic Curtain will be available through Droog Design—quite perfectly headquartered in Amsterdam. The Magnetic Curtain can be pushed and pulled, scrunched and elongated, manipulated to your heart’s desire into open and closed arrangements, as well as everything in between. Sunlight too intense in one particular area? Just use the magnets to cover that blinding ray and open the rest of the window to allow the more pleasurable light to shine in. Yes, it certainly has a practical component.”

So quaint isnt it. Im loving and detesting the trends of these little trinket like projects, kind of a renaissance of product design. On the side, I am absolutely impressed with the fluidity of your description and the seemingly natural nonchalant attitude.
GO SINKING CITIES!!!
This magnetic curtain has a very good concept for a product design. To keep the curtain up, we won’t be needing curtain ribbons if we have something like this. And it look so futuristic, it will surely match an architectural design which has a futuristic edge.
