Studio Akane Moriyama designed curtains for a private house by French and Japanese architects Victor Lefebvre and Haruka Fuji in Nara, Japan. The client teaches music from a piano room in the house. For this room Studio Akane Moriyama created textiles to cover all walls and thus help adjust the acoustics. A double-high space in the house connects all rooms in the second floor, here thin double woven fabrics are used to ensure the privacy of each room. Woven with metal threads the curtains keep a slight reminiscence of touch and interaction with the user.
