Blind
Burglar
Many council
homes employ security bars over the windows to act as a strong
visual and physical deterrent to burglary. However, despite
their effectiveness, these bars other a far from ideal solution
- they are ugly from both interior and exterior perspectives
and contribute to a 'fortress' aesthetic and mentality in community
housing.
This security
lattice blind offers a radically different solution to this
problem, combining qualities of lightness and strength. Hanging
inside the window, the korean paper creates a warm aesthetic
as light passes through it's rigid, but durable fabric. Looking
from the exterior, the metal chain link structure holding the
blind panels together is imediately apparent - and provides
both a visual and physical deterrent to anyone considering breaking
and entering.
