Room Dividers at Hotel Auteuil

This image of room dividers at the Hotel Auteuil in Geneva reminded us of the sail cloth wall in David and Im's OneSpace. It's a clever idea for a studio or loft space...you just have to find cloth in the right size and weight. In this room, the sheer white curtains do a great job of sectioning off the space without blocking light or weighing down the room. Click below for resources and how to get a similar look...

I love how they did it without a visible curtain rod. It almost looks like the curtain is an actual wall.

I wonder how exactly that was done... It is hard to see in the photos.

Looks nice, but reminds me of a hospital room.

The Delano Hotel in Miami also has this look.

Michael--
I think they are hung by hospital track, but it also looks like the track is actually in an inset area of the ceiling, no doubt also where the lighting is concealed.
