Sliding panels to dress or structure your space

Japanese panels are made up of vertical strips of fabric that slide along the several tracks of a rail. They move sideways and can overlap to gradually open or close the surface.

Particularly suited to large picture windows, they can also serve as a light divider between two spaces. Fabrics, levels of transparency, colours and patterns then let you adapt their function and style to your interior.


Why choose Japanese panels?

  • Adaptable — The panels slide sideways to easily adjust the opening, light and privacy.
  • Large picture windows — Their vertical format lets them elegantly dress wide glazed surfaces.
  • Room dividing — They can structure or divide a room without creating a fixed partition.
  • Customisable — Fabrics, levels of transparency, colours, patterns and textures let you put together a solution tailored to your interior.
  • Functional — Depending on the fabric chosen: transparency, blackout, acoustic, thermal or flame-retardant properties.
