![simko: Better View Blind designed by Elina Aalto…
Better View is a series of perforated black out roller blinds designed by Elina Aalto. Light seeps in through the small cut out holes creating an image of a city by night. The cut-outs represent the light in the windows of apartment buildings and office complexes in the city. With the Better View blind any dreary view can be turned into an attractive cityscape. The series currently includes views from [Helsinki, Paris, Stockholm and Tokyo]. The images represent a selection of cities that Elina has traveled to in the last few years and the photographs are by her. The chosen views are of contrasting cityscapes: skyscrapers in Tokyo, 60s modernism in Helsinki and 19th century architecture in Paris.
The idea for the blind was inspired by an art piece that Elina saw in the Oslo Art Museum. It was a large portrait made by perforating the canvas and it was hung on the wall like a regular painting. Elina thought that it was a pity that it was not hung so that light could come in through the holes. (via)](http://25.media.tumblr.com/eEpoSv5pDpwxbfmnx9k8rA0ho1_500.jpg)
