Eclisse stands out among architecture students

On each panel, a physical sample is directly connected to the digital library, for easy and quick access to its technical characteristics.

Active in digital, ECLISSE immediately adheres to this innovative educational approach.

Its objective: to inform future architects of new techniques, developments and innovations in the interior door market.

Developed by the Italian parent company, ECLISSE pocket frames and invisible frames benefit from know-how recognized for their design and quality. Interior doors, in perpetual evolution, offer new space layouts on the French, Belgian and Luxembourg market.

For the 2021/22 school year, ECLISSE has chosen to enhance its ECLISSE 40 frame and its Syntesis® Line frame. The frame makes it possible to install an invisible and architectural hinged door. On one side, the door is flush with the wall and on the other, its aluminum frame is exposed to give depth. The Syntesis® Line frame, on the other hand, makes it possible to install a sliding pocket door. The door slides inside the partition and leaves an uncluttered finishing wall.

In September 2021, Franck Dietmann, Director of Archimatérial, installs with his teams the 32 ECLISSE connected panels, in the "Fitting & furniture" section.

Accessible to 25.000 students and 4.000 architectural teachers in France, Belgium and Luxembourg

• Physical sample of the ECLISSE 40 frame.
• Visuals and situational illustrations.
• Dimensions and assembly of the frame and the chassis.
• QR Code to access the digital library: technical characteristics, installation and product implementation video.

Knowledge of new materials and their development is essential for student architects; it can indeed make the difference when presenting projects. The dematerialized access to the products presented physically encourages the students to better discover the universe of matter. Since the start of the school year, the Eclisse documentation has been downloaded 1200 times. In June, the number of scans carried out on the connected panel by the students will be added.

On average, each year, five schools join the Campus Materials Library, i.e. 2.000 student architects.

By the end of 2022, Eclisse will participate in the animation of a round table. An event that allows students a direct exchange with the manufacturer, to complete their knowledge of materials, manufacturing processes, implementation and recycling.

“This partnership is a first for ECLISSE and we are convinced of its educational effectiveness. Architecture students are all connected and are potentially our future prescribers. They also have relevant projects, suggestions and questions to report to our research and development department,” says Christian Renévot, Managing Director of Eclisse France.
