In the beginning, there is a couple excepting their first child. They are living in an apartment with a spacious living-room opened to the secondary rooms. Their wish is to be able to close temporarily and easily an alcove visible from the living-room in order to delimit a small space for the future offspring. 

The project “Tangram” is a curtain whose design is inspired by the Chinese dissection puzzle consisting of seven flat elementary shapes. This time, the general drawing is a spatial combination of resolved Tangram figures that revolve around three themes: home, animals, and characters.

The juxtaposition both fortuitous and deliberate of these figures painted directly on the fabric’s surface creates open scenarios, free interpretations by the child.

On the one hand, the curtain is a figurative and fun painting as it accumulates reproductions of reality through figurative models. On the other hand, it is an abstract composition, since these figures are themselves composed of simple geometric shapes such as square, triangle and parallelogram.

Then the general pattern offers a dual perception that it is a child or an adult.
