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.
