This curtain project is part of a broader renovation led by @epoc_archi and @architectures_paralleles.

Inspired by the meticulous restoration of this eclectic, Art Nouveau-influenced building, the curtains feature a subtle color gradient reflecting historical stratigraphic studies of the walls. Their design incorporates a cut-out pattern, designed in collaboration with Léa lacasa @sub_rosa_prints, based on original ornamental fragments from the staircase, transformed through multiplication and rotation into an all-over motif that varies in color and density across floors.

Each curtain has two layers: a lightly colored, perforated outer layer facing the window and a neutral acoustic textile on the interior. Depending on the curtain’s position, lighting conditions, and time of day, the interplay of light and shadow creates dynamic projections on the inner layer.
