Innovation - Product

With ECLISSE 40, the aluminum frame, the invisible and structural element of the door frame, becomes... visible. For the first time on the interior door market, the door frame changes the codes and transforms into a scenic furnishing element. Once again, ECLISSE demonstrates its capacity for innovation by developing a door with a unique design, a blend of the invisible and the architectural. The eye of professionals has just rewarded the ECLISSE 40 door frame in the "Product Design" category of the 2020 RedDot International Award. 

    ECLISSE 40, the door 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 frames into a decorative and design element. “It all started with the feeling that something was missing in the world of doors. Something that would evolve the concept of the interior door: making the invisible, a subtle visibility without neglecting functionality and practicality. The inspiration came from observing the past: the splaying of the window to diffuse light.”    ECLISSE 40 was born from this idea. The aluminum metal frame tilts at a 40° angle, creating an unprecedented and unmistakable sense 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 finishing material in its own right. On one side, the geometric lines add depth. On the other, the flush door is discreet and elegant. The particular inclination of the structure defines the volume of the threshold, giving the door a unique presence and expressive force.    With this innovation, ECLISSE creates a new way of imagining the interior door, while maintaining the appearance of a flush-to-the-wall door.      A new and revolutionary collection    " There is For six years, the Syntesis® collection was already avant-garde in the field of pocket doors and swing doors. Once again, with the ECLISSE 40 door frame, ECLISSE is revolutionizing the design of invisible doors. The emphasis on the aluminum frame is an approach that was still non-existent on the French market. ECLISSE 40 reflects Italian design and French standards in every way and is shaking up the lines of interior doors. Explain Olivier Guilliec, Sales Director of ECLISSE France.    What are the special features of ECLISSE 40? The 40° inclination creates a sense of depth. L'aluminium, resistant and elegant, allows a play of light and an original appearance. The visible and refined door 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 through. ECLISSE 40 pairs perfectly with the Syntesis® collection.      The characteristics of ECLISSE 40
