For over a decade, TWOPAGES has proven that window treatments can be one of the most defining and expressive elements of home design. TWOPAGES invited designers, artists, students, and creative practitioners to participate in the 2026 TWOPAGES X Design Contest, a global platform for creative collaboration exploring the expressive potential of curtain design. With this year's theme, Curtain As Art, the contest encouraged participants to approach curtain design as a form of artistic expression, considering surfaces for storytelling, spatial atmosphere, emotion, movement, and identity.

Notable attendees included Ray Chen, Danielle Blundell, Ingrid Abramovitch, Leatrice Eiseman, Jennifer Farrell, Bari J. Ackerman, and brand friends.

Established in 2025, the TWOPAGES X Design Contest bridges design, craftsmanship, and real-world production. This year, TWOPAGES received over 1,000 submissions from participants across 56 countries and 42 U.S. states. Each winning submission received a cash prize and was developed into a real, shoppable collection of custom drapery, shades, and more.

At the event, the TWOPAGES team welcomed designers, creators, industry leaders, media, partners, and creative voices to honor the top three finalists and announce the winner. The evening featured live presentations from each finalist—Gabrielle De Winter, Hailey Keifer, and Heather Cantrill—punctuated by live ballerina performances during each showcase, followed by a jury debate with judges Ingrid Abramovitch, Leatrice Eiseman, Jennifer Farrell, and Bari J. Ackerman. The event also marked the third anniversary of the brand's popular collaboration with Sara Le.

The evening featured the finalists' designs alongside interactive elements including custom fan creation and fan-favorite voting. Guests celebrated the winner, Heather Cantrill, with a champagne toast.
