Kepler Hall is the new entrance to the Johannes Kepler university campus in Linz. This multifunctional building was created with an assembly hall, sports hall and lounge, which is also used as an event location. It is a great example of how art and building can be optimally combined.

The competition for the design of the 800m long curtain was won by Gilbert Bretterbauer, who immersed Kepler Hall in a sea of colour.

Created using the stable and flame-retardant Colorama 1 fabric, this stunning feature uses 28 shades of colour sewn in a diagonal arrangement to create a cheerful and lively atmosphere. The jaw-dropping 6m long Wave curtains are hung from a SG 5600 motorised curtain track.
