An extraordinary curtain project using DELIUS’s ‘Watson’ fabric has been completed in the auditorium of the Swedish municipality of Nacka. Designed by interior designer Magdalena Keller, the large-scale curtain now dominates the auditorium as a central design feature.

With an area of around 200 square metres (10 x 20 metres), the curtain made from 100% wool even surpasses the famous curtain at the United Nations headquarters, which, at 196 square metres, is considered one of the largest curtains in the world. The monumental scale of the project not only poses significant technical challenges but also highlights the design impact of the Watson fabric in a public space.

The auditorium in Nacka serves as a cultural venue for concerts, performances and school events. The new curtain combines functionality with a clean, modern aesthetic and plays a key role in shaping the atmosphere of the space.
