Soner Ozenc's electroluminescent Time Curtain

Soner Ozenc, the design guru who brought us the Sajjadah 1426 Prayer Rug about this time last year, has wowed onlookers at the London Design Festival yet again with his electroluminescent style. Apparently Ozenc has been passing the time (ahem) by crafting a svelte room partitioner (or snazzy wall adornment, if you'd prefer) that helps keep your life on schedule. The Time Curtain utilizes a "transparent piece of hanging fabric that displays the current time in electroluminescent LED-style numbers" -- perfect for an overdramatic countdown to certain special days of the year. While details concerning future availability (and alarm functionality) haven't been made public just yet, this timekeeper is sure to get its 15 minutes of fame while on display, and would probably look mighty sweet down the hall from your Digital Stag, yeah?

Yeah, but does it make that ominous clock ticking sound from 24?

HAHHAHAHAHHA that LMFAO @ tcc3

Its sexy but if it costs upwards of 50$ no ones really gunna buy it now sell something like this for say 40-45$ and hell i'd love it... wonder if they will make more complex ones that can display like images ... that'd be wicked, hook it to a flickr account to slideshow

even if it costs $1000 i'm sure it'll attract theatres that want to display messages on their stage curtains before the show starts and stuff.

i am however a bit skeptical now about quality control and testing in the electronics industry. if they can make 6 million faulty batteries that explode, how easy is it to make a curtain that accidentally shorts and catches on fire?

Cool. I have now seen my next shower curtain!

If it has an accurate timer function this would work great for brothels and other types of whorehouse arrangements...

Wouldn't it be backwards from one side?
