💡 Concept

an interior designer carefully arranges long flowing curtains around a large window. She gathers the rich fabric in her hands, letting it fall in graceful folds and curves. The heavy cloth naturally creates beautiful pleats and waves as it hangs from the curtain rod. The fabric pools slightly on the floor, forming elegant draping patterns. Her assistant holds additional fabric panels, watching as the designer positions each fold perfectly. The homeowner observes from nearby, admiring how the cloth transforms the room's appearance. cloth coverings hung in loose folds as decorative window treatments

Origin

14세기 프랑스어 'draperie'에서 유래했으며, 이는 천을 만들고 파는 일을 뜻하는 'draper'에서 나왔습니다. 원래는 천 장사의 직업이나 상점을 의미했다가, 점차 장식용 천 자체를 가리키게 되었습니다.
