Albed, the trend of metal doors

-

 

In the world of design metal – satin-finished, lacquered, with galvanic finishes or natural – is officially a trend. Thanks to the consolidated know-how in working with this material for door systems and partitions, Albed translates this trend into functional collections that can be customized and adapted to any project and interior requirements.

Celine, Quadra and Ri-trait 8b explore the use of aluminum and make it a decisive aesthetic component; as does Solo, the modular and versatile walk-in closet, which is also available free standing.

The Celine door series, designed by Paolo Festa, takes the geometric decorativism of early 20th-century industrial glazing and turns it into a complete technical system that includes hinged, flush or framed, sliding, even concealed, solutions and partitions. Celine’s door panel is crossed by thin aluminum profiles, available in natural or with gilded, bronzed or lacquered finishes, which divide its surface into offset rectangular portions. These can be customized in glass with different finishes: neutral, etched, pleated, reflective, mirrored, satin or with decorative textures, including metallic, on the entire surface, part of the catalog of more than 90 material proposals from Albed.

Quadra makes versatility its emblem: the panel is available as a single-surface, single-glazed, double-glazed or hollow-core panel, as well as in regular squares with aluminum frames. Available in hinged, framed or flush-to-wall versions, sliding also concealed or with a ceiling track, with a swiveling or pivoting panel, it can also be designed as a partition wall with safety glass, ideal for open space office settings to divide rooms without separating.

Ri-trait 8b features a door panel entirely traversed by parallel and dense aluminum strips with vertical and horizontal orientation to the frame. The design idea and the resulting decorative texture take inspiration from typical Japanese screens, which separate rooms while maintaining a certain permeability between them. Custom-made, with even the possibility of reaching flush with the ceiling, Ri-trait 8b is available in pull and push casement versions also flush with the wall, sliding, with automatic operation, and as a partition wall, strongly decorative.

Finally, Solo is the modular and versatile walk-in closet designed by Albed, infinitely customizable in modules, layout and accessories. It is also provided in a freestanding version, and its structural distinctiveness becomes its distinctive aesthetic character, with aluminum uprights, available in bronzed, golden or lacquered finish, which are made prominent and support closed or open compartments for storing clothes and accessories.
