Object of Desire: Ethereal Hanging Textiles from Twenty One Tonnes

by Published: May 16, 2025

A few months back, a pair of pants I ordered came in a pretty natural-fiber net bag. I sliced it down the seams, tacked up the panel in a bedroom window, and presto: a textural window covering that affords some privacy and still lets the light in.

Ever since I’ve been admiring netted, semitranslusent, loosely woven curtains. Take, for example, these beguiling hangings from Twenty One Tonnes, far more artful than my DIY version and woven in Oaxaca, Mexico, from maguey leaves left over from mezcal production (making them low-waste to boot). Each panel “brings a warm textural element and catches the sunlight in the most beautiful way,” according to the shop, and can be used as room dividers, wall hangings, door or window coverings, or layered screens.

Have a look:
