Instant Curtains by the Genius Bouroullec Brothers

February 18, 2013

When I decided it was time to change out the curtains in my apartment, I figured I could do it in one weekend. Wrong. First there's the hardware to contend with (I've purchased all eight curtain rods, but they've been sitting in the closet while I decide on the perfect curtain panel). If only I had known about the Bouroullec Brother's latest venture: Ready Made Curtains.

The Ready Made Curtain is an easy-to-install kit that includes everything you need: the curtains themselves, two wooden hanging mechanisms, nine pegs, and 196 inches of cord. The systems are available with a woolen fabric panel in flaming red, navy, or white or as a non-woven textile in white, pale blue (with red cord), or navy. Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec designed the curtain systems for Kvadrat and debuted them at the recent imm Cologne.
