Again, ECLISSE shows its capacity for innovation by developing a door with an original design, a mixture of invisible and architecture. The eye of professionals has also rewarded the ECLISSE 40 frame in the “Product Design” category with the International RedDot 2020 Prize.
ECLISSE 40, the frame from another angle
Francesco Valentini and Lorenzo Ponzelli, two Italian designers, imagined transforming for the first time the invisible and structural element of ECLISSE window frames into a decorative and design element.
“It all started with the feeling that something was missing in the door world. Something that would change the concept of the interior door: making the invisible, a subtle visibility without neglecting functionality and practicality. Inspiration comes from observation of the past: the splaying of the window to diffuse light. "
ECLISSE 40 was born from this idea, the aluminum metal frame tilts at 40 °, creating an unprecedented and unequivocal feeling of depth. For the first time, the door frame is visible. It emerges from the wall with finesse and subtlety. The frame is no longer just a technical and functional element, but a full-fledged finishing material. So on the one hand, the geometric lines give depth. On the other, the flush door is discreet and elegant. The particular inclination of the structure defines the volume of the threshold, which gives the door a unique presence and an expressive force.
With this innovation, ECLISSE creates a new way of imagining the interior door, while retaining the appearance of a flush door.
A new and revolutionary collection
“Six years ago the Syntesis® collection was already avant-garde in the field of pocket and swing doors. Once again, with the ECLISSE 40 frame, ECLISSE is revolutionizing the design of invisible doors. Highlighting the aluminum frame is an approach that does not yet exist on the French market. ECLISSE 40 reflects Italian design and French requirements in every way and moves the lines of the interior door. "
- Olivier Guilliec, Commercial Director of ECLISSE France
What is special about ECLISSE 40? The 40 ° tilt creates a feeling of depth. Aluminum, resistant and elegant, allows a play of light and an original appearance. The visible and refined frame leaves its mark on the room, while adapting to its environment: on one side the flush door is elegant and discreet, on the other the depth invites you to pass. ECLISSE 40 goes perfectly with the Syntesis® collection.
