# Aurora Borealis Curtains These Panelled Window Treatments Mimic the Canadian Northern Lights By Alyson Wyers | Published 2014-06-12 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/northern-lights References: [psfk](http://www.psfk.com/2014/06/glowing-woven-cutains.html) & [chriskabel](http://www.chriskabel.com) These window treatments designed by Chris Kabel bring the northern lights indoors like you've never seen before. [Woven Night Skies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicker-side-table) mimic the Aurora Borealis night sky in that they are made out of [glow in the dark yarn](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knit-series). Unless you live in Canada or Norway, they aren't visible in other parts of the northern hemisphere. But this Dutch designer's phenomenal use of technology begs the question if it will soon surpass even natural wonders. The celestial curtains were created for a conference room at the [Fogo Island Inn](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fogo-island-workshops) in Newfoundland, Canada, close to the arctic circle. When the conference lights are turned off, the panelled window treatments will start glowing like the famous northern lights. Kabel invented a new weaving method for Woven Night Skies, which we developed in partnership with TextielLab. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.5/10 - Popularity: 4% | Activity: 2% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Indoor Aurora Borealis:** Innovative use of glow-in-the-dark technology to recreate natural phenomena like Aurora Borealis indoors for awe-inspiring experiences. - **Advanced Weaving Techniques:** Creation of new weaving techniques to produce unique patterns and textures using unusual materials and innovative technologies. - **Smart Conference Rooms:** Integration of cutting-edge technologies into conference rooms to create interactive and immersive experiences for attendees. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Interior Design:** Creation of unique and awe-inspiring lighting and decor products that offer exceptional experiences through the use of innovative materials and technologies. - **Textile Manufacturing:** Development of new weaving methods that incorporate unusual materials and innovative technologies, resulting in high-quality and unique textile products. - **Hospitality:** Integration of advanced technologies in conference and meeting rooms to create immersive and engaging experiences for guests that go beyond what is conventionally provided. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sunlight Simulating Shades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aura-illuminated-shades.md) - [Glow-in-the-Dark Blinds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glow-in-the-dark-blinds.md) - [Northern Lights Skyr Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/northern-lights-skyr-kit.md) - [Temperature-Regulating Curtains](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moondream.md) - [Window-Emulating Lighting Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/window-chronicles.md) - [Illuminated Curtained Light Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/making-the-invisible-visible.md) - [Curtain-Style Smart Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/govee-rgbic-curtain-lights.md) - [Window-Imitating Smart Light Panels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vindow.md) - [Evening Sky-Inspired Lighting Fixtures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/evening-sky.md)
