Good curtains are a prohibitively expensive part of the average home renovation. Sadly with names like Ligne Roset involved this will be the preserve of the over-paid design junky.

No innovation here. And shockingly the design is not fool proof in that poor application of the Ready Made Curtain will result in a piece of fabric dangling from a wire, exposing private life to outdoor passersby and indoor annoyance of jumbled or messy covers for window panes. Disappointing. I regret having to tell you that clothes-pegs-on-wire-curtain-rods have been for sale for many years in different styles. No innovation here.

Similar kits (containing hanging cords, wall fixings and pegs) were hugely popular in Soviet Union as a cheaper alternative to curtain rods. My father had a couple of those installed in his summer house in early 90s. The kit looks great, but the idea is not new.

Gropius may have been proud of them :-) Curious to find out more regarding the actual fixture, which from the (beautiful) pictures leaves some guesswork, the actual packaging, price point and, yes, where will we be able to purchase this? I guess some apps and social media to follow in order to make this fully democratic? I like it.
