The tulip is a flower per se. It just had to be invented, somewhere in the mysterious folds of the western Asia. From a lean lime green neck it raises its elegant little head –a perfectly designed trident, a light fluffy balloon. It radiates in flamboyant colour shades, magnific-red, chaste-violet, moss-brown, beak-yellow, and sighing-white, gently fading and senselessly glowing. It appears also on Nina Bernerts shimmering air-carpets: Modelled from organdy ribbons in countless colours, this tulip leads a cheerful double life in between elusive phantasm and equanimously adjusted fabric. These slender and elegant curtain panels conjure a one- tulip-garden in the apartment, and its play of colours changes with daytime and lighting conditions: from translucent glazes to metallic and rich hues, reminding of a scalelike dress or the plumage of the birds of paradise. Each organdy Curtain is a unique composition, made of the tempers of colours and the imaginative craft of its designer.
