Window: made-to-measure curtains, and a textile valley still holding on
Linen, wool or cotton woven by French artisans, made to measure in the Vosges — one of the last valleys of fine household linen. The WOOD collection takes its cue from the surrounding forest.
2 MIN · 16 September 2026A curtain is rarely chosen for where it comes from. Yet it is the largest piece of textile in a house, the one that lasts longest, and the only one we have made to measure without ever asking where.
What Window makes, and where
Window makes made-to-measure curtains in linen, wool or cotton, woven by French artisans and manufactured in the Vosges. The house handles the whole chain — design, manufacture, fitting — which is precisely the problem it set out to solve: the quality curtain exists, but nobody wants to take on all three stages at once.
The embroidery and the making rest on Vosges workshops. This is not a terroir argument: the Vosges have historically been one of the valleys of fine household linen in France, and one of the few where workshops capable of this work still remain.
A collection that looks out of the window
The WOOD collection takes its cue from the Vosges forest — the one that surrounds the workshops where the curtains are made. The idea is simple, and rarer than it sounds: instead of going elsewhere for a motif, you look at the place where you produce. Most textile collections do exactly the opposite, and that is why they all resemble one another.
Why it interests us
The curtain is our biggest blind spot, along with the rug. We photograph what is placed down; we do not photograph what hangs. And that is a mistake, because the gap in quality is enormous and almost invisible in a photograph: the weight per metre, the way the fall holds, the resistance to light, the way the colour holds or fails to hold after three summers.
A cheap curtain is judged exactly like a sheet, and on the same criteria as those we discussed about household linen: the material, the weight, the weave. They are numbers. They are on the label when the house is willing to put them there.
Getting there
Window — during Paris Design Week. Visiting arrangements are not published: enquire with the house before making the trip.
The Beyit gesture: photograph a piece and scan it — the tool tells you who publishes it, at what price, and what exists around it.
