Designer Helena Karelson has created an interesting and beautiful take on the ordinary, ugly, horizontal pull blinds with her contour window blinds, which made their debut at the London Design Festival.
The contour window blinds are a relationship between "form and shadow," and were designed to create the least amount of waste as possible in the manufacturing process.
When the contour window blinds are horizontal, the undulating shapes will allow odd waves of light to seep in at different angles creating an interesting pattern in any room.
