To watch TV or chat with other people need and penumbra, however, is very nice to eat with daylight and enjoy something so simple yet so important as appreciating the food color.

The doors and interior decoration – richard design services

They are a step element, an important part of the decoration is not changed or transformed so easily. Meet the needs of our home and versatility offered by new models of doors is vital to not make a decision to end weighing us.

Wood, lacquer, matt or shiny, steel, aluminum or glass (not dyed or acid), folding, with knobs or handles, according to what is best in each case, but always bearing in mind not only the aesthetic but also functionality.

Define the environment of a coral way, thus allowing an architectural design environment is what the Italian company Rimadesio intended in its current collection, present in markets such as China, Japan, Brazil, the United States and Europe. Its maximum is the versatility and functionality, and manufacturing crystal is an innovation.

They use glass and aluminum innovative and technologically advanced way and hence arises the special division of internal spaces, which not only has to do with traditional doors, but with sliding panels, a great solution when space is scarce.

Although that was his main intention, long ago, these types of doors take on a new dimension thanks to the diversification of measures that manage to create versatile rooms with new drives and new anchoring systems.

The new models leave the door view, not hidden inside a wall, so that the models are more personal and creative. In addition, new fittings and decorative guides are an incentive to avoid hide.

Invisibles

We must also mention the proposals presented for signing Giuseppe Bavuso Rimadesio. Siparium designs, the first patented sliding panels of aluminum and glass, and always made to order, the system has become one of its stars over the years.

Aura is a new stage in which the doors become invisible to blend into the wall. This is a lacquered glass surface, which coincides with the walls and has an aluminum minimum thickness. It has two-way opening system and completely invisible magnetic closure, allowing the traditional lock is not used. Its handle is a piece of the same color lacquered glass sheet.

The RasoParete firm commitment to integrated doors, both classic decorations and walls, with more current structure.

Ester Gomez, director of the communication department of Madysa distributor of this Italian firm, says his goal is “integration of a door in a wall decorated. The door defines a public space for private use and poor visibility helps to preserve this privacy. ”

And he notes that what he really intended, is to create “a process in which the door is not functioning as an element of distortion minimalist environment”, so looking for an aesthetic solution for all kinds of places and spaces.

This type of door jambs not carried in any of the two sides of the wall and is perfectly smoothed by one of the sides. A perfect setting for dividing spaces.
