i’ve written about emma jeffs‘ work before in the context of 2jane’s adhesive lace film for windows. i was browsing their new additions and decided to investigate her work a bit more closely. the lace patterns intrigued me (being someone that has windows that face many, many other peoples’ windows) because they provided a sense of privacy without totally frosting out a window, and they gave it a nice bit of pattern. but i wasn’t loving the lacey pattern as much. but then i checked out jeffs’ website and found she makes two other designs that i enjoyed much much more.

specializing in “surface material design”, jeffs designs her adhesive films in three patterns: lace, otto and pixel. lace is nice, but otto and pixel caught my eye. otto, inspired by chiselled wooden screens found within islamic countries, tries to, “capture the hand made quality of these decorative designs within this translucent material for the modern home”. available in taupe grey, crisp white and bright pink (better for kids’ rooms i think), otto is a wonderful way to discreetly cover a window that needs a bit of cover…

pixel is my favorite design of jeffs’ because it reminds me of the windows in my elementary school girls’ bathroom. i know, doesn’t sound appealing, but i LOVED our bathrooms in elementary school- they were a beautiful peachy pink and the windows (because they faced the playground) were faceted in tiny octagons with a nice frosty finish. i know, design geek from the get go. pixel is available in taupe grey, crisp white and turquoise. each film costs around $84 and a few patterns are on sale for half that. you can browse emma’s entire collection right here. enjoy!
