Fabric Windows/ Glas-in-stof
As a little girl Arine van Tol was fascinated with the play of light and colour in the windows at her church. It has inspired her, now that she is a designer, to create a collection of window coverings: instead of leaded windows, they are fabric windows. Synthetic materials are alternated with textiles, hard with soft, primary colours with pastels. Circles create folds, a reinforced plane directs the fabric and vertical strips create coherence. Playful patterns against a transparent background add another dimension to the light. These colourful curtains are real eye-catchers for any window in a large private space.
