The barrier method
First there was Hadrian's Wall, then the Iron Curtain, and now the Europeans bring us this—a Concrete Curtain, allowing you to create the most dramatic barrier since the Cold War, in your house. Created by Austrian design firm Memux, the curtain, or "Betonvorhang", was recently singled out at the Red Dot Design Awards. Designed for both indoor and outdoor use, the curtain is put together much like a patchwork quilt, lending the concrete a "soft, poetic character" according to its makers. The poetry is magnified thanks to "the refracted light, its sluggish movement and the sounds resulting from it."
Partition never looked so stylish.
