The warp and weft of an idea

Should a voile filter the light or let it shine through? If this were a Zen Master’s kōan, the correct answer would be Zen. Poised delicately between the two functions, rather like the glass that is half full and half empty (but always brimming with optimism). Leno weave reconciles structural solidity with a sensation of airiness, it regulates the passage of sunrays and invites a sense of outdoor presence into the home. Highly practical, with a lively natural look, it expresses its personality by putting the accent on texture. Discovered and loved by a host of admirers, who found in it exactly what they wanted. An illumination, you might say.
