Here is a different approach to armchair traveling. Add a foreign skyline to your home and watch the sun rise and set as though you were in a different city. Designed by Elina Aalto, these would be great addition for a room with a less than inspiring view.
Currently the collection includes Tokyo, Helsinki, Paris and Stockholm. The Berlin View is being introduced this fall at the Galeries Lafayette in Berlin.
Each roller blind is custom made by hand. The material used is vinyl-coated polyester. The width of the blind can vary between one and two meters (3 ́3” and 6’6”). The Better View blind has previouly been on display at the Future Perfect Gallery in Williamsburg, Brooklyn during the New York Design Week 2006.

Put on list to DIY.
How many times is this going to be featured?
Pretty clever. How about some tree branches instead of buildings?

That's neat.
Needs work, but a great idea nonetheless. I have always wondered about some kind of "translite" system used in set design on a soundstage, but for an actual window with a really poor view (say, a brick wall)... This is the closest I've ever seen.
They would also make a good room divider, too.
i find this simultaneously interesting and depressing.
Fantastic for folks who don't have a view.
