How did blinds come to be in the first place? In fact, they have a long history! Let's trace that history as a fun fact about blinds.
1. What is the origin of blinds? It is said that the prototype of blinds was created about 5,000 years ago during the era of the Pharaohs in Egypt. They used screens made of reeds (ashi) woven together with fibers to block strong sunlight, and they were hung at doorways and windows to avoid prying eyes and improve ventilation. 2. When did horizontal blinds originate? The prototype of horizontal blinds is said to have originated in Venice, Italy. In the water city of Venice, it was necessary to block not only the sunlight pouring down from above but also the light reflecting off the water from below. This led to the creation of the prototype of horizontal blinds, known as "Venetian blinds," which can block both types of light. (The popular horizontal blinds "Beneal" by Toso are also derived from "Venetian" and "aluminum" blinds!) 3. What are modern blinds like? Originally, blinds were intended for commercial use, such as in offices, but around 1965, blinds for home use began to be sold. Nowadays, there are various types of blinds made from materials such as aluminum, wood, and fabric. With changes in housing conditions, the design and functionality have expanded, and they are widely adopted in many households.
