The Spitz Artist Blackout Curtain by Urs August Steiner captures the textural beauty of time and place, inspired by Basel’s historic Café Spitz. Created using the cyanotype photographic printing process, this design reflects the sandstone walls of the original site, preserving the shadows of history in striking detail. Printed on luxury extra-wide blackout fabric, this curtain ensures optimal light control while serving as a monumental piece of textile art. Handcrafted in Italy, it embodies architectural memory and craftsmanship.

A Cyanotype Impression of Time and Place

Inspired by the historical resonance of Basel’s Café Spitz, Urs August Steiner’s work captures the textures of the past, translating them into a bold and immersive textile piece. Using cyanotype printing, the fabric reflects the traces of sand grains, shadows, and aged surfaces, preserving a moment in time with extraordinary depth and contrast. The monochromatic abstraction adds a layer of history and sophistication, making it ideal for modern spaces, architectural interiors, or art-focused environments. Whether viewed as an echo of history or a study in texture, this blackout curtain transforms a room into a dialogue between past and present.

Luxury Blackout Fabric with Architectural Precision

Expertly woven in Italy, this 100% flame-retardant polyester (FR) blackout curtain features a matt satin finish on the front and a smooth, refined reverse side. Designed for exceptional light-blocking, it ensures privacy, comfort, and an immersive visual impact. Each panel is hand-sewn in Italy, available in widths from 100cm to 500cm with a fixed height of 290cm. The universal curtain tape allows for seamless installation, ensuring a perfectly tailored drape.

how to measure
how to measure

To order custom curtains, start by measuring your window or track width. You’ll then choose your desired fullness in the next step – we’ll take care of the final curtain width based on that.

Step 1: Measure the Width & Height

  • Track width: Measure the total width of your curtain rail or track.
  • Window width: If you don’t have a rail yet, measure the full width of your window and add extra space if you want the curtains to extend beyond the frame.

Take 3 measurements – from the top of the curtain track (or where you plan to install it) to the floor or desired curtain length:

  • Left side
  • Middle
  • Right side

Step 2: Choose Your Fullness

Fullness refers to the extra fabric used to create a soft, wavy drape. While you provide the actual width of your window or track, we use that as a base and apply additional fabric to achieve the desired visual effect.

You’ll select your preferred fullness in the next step

  • Exact (0%) – Clean and minimalist, no extra fabric.
  • Minimalist (+10%) – A slight gather, simple and modern.
  • Standard Modern (+50%) – A balanced, softly pleated look.
  • Luxurious (+100%) – Deep folds and a rich, elegant drape.

No need to do extra math — just choose the look you want, and we’ll calculate the final curtain width accordingly.
