Natchar Sawattdichai的纸百叶窗。（附视频）
Seriously, who doesn’t get crazy excited about window blinds, right? Oh yeah, pretty much most people. Perhaps I’m alone on this one? Well, actually, I’m clearly not, because young Thailand-born London-based designer Natchar Sawatdichai has spotted a gap in the market and decided to do something about it. Good on ya, love! Natchar was keen to ditch what she calls ‘Over-qualified’ materials in home decoration, and replace them with something more sustainable and environmentally friendly, like paper. By doing so, she upgrades ”‘Under-qualified’ materials like paper to become ‘Qualified’”, says the young designer. Natchar set out to create disposable blinds that improve sustainability and extend the lifespan of the product. To be honest, I’m not so clear how creating disposable product improves sustainability. One can only guess this is done by allowing the user to easily change and update their blinds by replacing paper with a new colour/ pattern/ design? In which case the whole thing starts to make a lot more sense. Crazy for window blinds? See more interesting examples on Yellowtrace here.
The length of Natchar’s concept window blinds can be easily adjusted by simply pulling the cord and tying it with the pulley. “Replacing the new blinds is also as easy as just sliding out the old one from the bracket and sliding in the new replacement”, she says. The moving cord mechanism was designed to be placed in the centre, so the paper blind can that be easily cut to a desired size. Simple, beautiful and clever.
