Project Overview & Aesthetic Design

A full-scale statement installation designed to span the width of a queen or king bed, hung from a 60-inch natural birch pole with multi-layered diamond netting, berry knots, and cascading floor-length fringe.

Step-by-Step Execution Guide

  • Mount a sturdy 60-inch heavy-duty wooden pole ($1.5$-inch diameter) securely across two wall hooks.

  • Cut 48 strands of 5mm 3-ply cotton rope to 22 feet each. Attach across the entire pole using Lark’s Head knots.

  • Work an expansive 5-tier alternating square knot mesh across the top 12 inches to establish an open grid.

  • Form three massive repeating diamond focal points beneath the grid using diagonal double half-hitches.

  • Embed 3-dimensional “berry knots” (rolled square knots) inside each diamond center for tactile pop.

  • Finish with a soft scallop fringe cut at the bottom, leaving the central cords 36 inches long.
