Noticed recently: tone-on-tone cloths patched together in subtle, perfectly imperfect windowpane patterns. Credit for their provenance lies in the Korean tradition of pojagi (or bojagi). Lately they're making appearances as window coverings, where light coming through illuminates their handmade quality.
Niki Tsukamoto of LA-based Lookout & Wonderland created a long swath of patchwork panels for the California bedroom of Serena Mitnik-Miller.

Stitched-together window coverings can also be found on Etsy, like this Ramie Korean Patchwork Curtain by South Korea-based maker LunarJogak ($134).
Designer Tamar Barnoon used this tacked-up cloth-as-curtain in a Topanga Canyon project. We particularly like that it leaves small square apertures for the sun to come through.

Another curtain by Lookout & Wonderland, this one in shades of blue.

And spotted on the Instagram of John Baker of Toronto design shop Mjölk: an ethereal antique Korean cloth purchased from a market in Japan.
