Tord Boontje Curtains
July 27, 2009 | 28 comments

I’ve been sitting on a pair of black Tord Boontje curtains like this one for a while now and am trying to figure out where to put them. Here are a few examples I’ve found that I like:



I like the idea of using them as a room divider but with the dogs, I don’t think that would be the wisest thing. (They’re made of tyvek.) So I’m thinking of using them on the window in the guest room or in our bedroom. Does anyone have any suggestions for a clever use of these?

This is very nice indeed and Ithink that my dog would have fun too with it so be very careful. I like them in front of the white door but should be too casuable for that use.
Have a nice week
a bientôt

Dear Alek!
The curtains are fabulous – I think they look gorgeous in the bedroom!
Have enjoyed my visit to your terrific site! Hope you had a wonderful weekend – am still recovering from Saturday’s Xmas in July blog party and my special giveaway (entry deadline July 31!)
Have a great week & see you again soon!

I think these are beautiful, especially in the image with the open door. It’s as if a flock of butterflies and tiny imaginary creatures just fluttered through the door. You’ve caught me before my morning coffee (i.e. my brain is useless), but I’ll think on some possible creative uses. I bet they cast amazing shadows at night, perhaps that’s something to consider.

I love these as well but thought the same thing being that I have cats.
I did imagine pressing them between glass or plexi and either setting it into a floor mount or hanging it. I haven’t figured out the precise logistics.

I’m a fan of the shower curtain idea, but I can also see it used as a sort of upholstery for a headboard or framed and hung as art. What I love is that you can pair it with a great color and get a nice pop of texture!

If you’ve been sitting on them for a while, perhaps you’re not as enamored with them as when they were first purchased. Maybe eBay or a (helluva) blog giveaway is in order.

OOOOooooo….. I love these..I don’t think that I’ve seen anything like these in the U.K.
I’ll have to have a think for ideas as to what to do with them.!!! XXXX

what about over a shower curtain? this way the pups can’t get to them. they’re gorgeous wherever you put them.

This looks great!
I love the idea of using it in the bathroom, it would make any bathroom look fabolous!

I seriously considered the black version a while back, to be used more as a wall hanging against a white wall.
I wonder if it could be hung by a corner from the ceiling in some sort of artistic way, kind of like a hanging sculpture?

No suggestions because if you decide to not use them…I’ll gladly take them off your hands!
Love this look on the window as a curtain!
Counting the days until Travel Thursday!

I love Tord Boontje{much easier to write than say!} I’m using some of his panels in my next shoot. That curtain would look great as a wall hanging on a grey wall!

Believe it or not I had not seen these before. I love them! I wonder how it would work in a bathroom? I cannot wait to see where you will hand them.

Yes I would do the shower curtain idea. Just get them elasticated. Or is that laminated? They would last 5 minutes max if you hung them with dogs around.

OMG, we do have the exact same taste! First the Target pillow and now this! I have these exact curtains (well, actually I have the white version but details, details). I put it in front of our front door. The door is glass and, at night, people walking past could potentially see up into our hall and dining room. So I wanted a little privacy but didn’t want to block out the light. I also didn’t want to use a proper curtain or blind because people arriving at the door would have to look at the lining. Oh, and I thought this was way cheaper than getting something custom made! It works perfectly – breaks up the dark rectangle of glass at night and lets the sun in by day. We don’t have a dog but we have a toddler and, so far, it’s stood up to him!
Good luck. I think it would make a great addition.

I have a great idea! Send them to Phoenix and I’ll hang them in my office. I promise to send lots of photos! ;]
July 28th, 2009 @ 10:47 pm
those are amazing! I like the room idea, but yes, my dog destroying them was the first thing that came to mind. Maybe over french doors to a back patio? I like the idea of them being somewhere where lots of light comes in, I’m sure they cast lovely shadows

Beautiful! Unfortunately with our cat these are out of the question for us, they’d be much too tempting for our Lissu
