"I have a longstanding thing for string and cord-I love its texture, simplicity (made of nothing more than twisted fibers!), affordability, and the fact that it's been used for centuries for so many things: brown paper package ties, stair rails. Naturally, I started looking for other examples of rope partitions. Here are seven favorite examples, all easily doable, some even readymade. Take a look, and if you're in need of a partition, consider putting rope to work."
"Above: Utilitario Mexicano owners Enrique Arellano, a graphic designer, and Libia Moreno, a textile designer, explained that they had formerly hung a series of canvas curtains in this spot: "they got dirty easily and tore with the passing of boxes to the store," says Libia. In response, Enrique devised this solution cotton cording that is simply looped around a metal rod and knotted at the ends. All it requires is rope, scissors, and a hanging bar."
Utilitario Mexicano in Mexico City's Colonia Juárez uses a rope-screen instead of a door to separate public and private spaces. The shop owners replaced canvas curtains that tore and dirtied easily with looped cotton cording knotted on a metal rod. Rope and cord offer texture, simplicity, affordability, and centuries of practical uses from package ties to stair rails. Rope partitions can function as room dividers, closet curtains, and office zone markers. Examples include a macramé-style curtain made from crafting cord and brass beads and jute rope walls suspended to define zones while maintaining visual permeability.
