Must-See: Stone Door, Glass Wardrobe, and Other New Arrivals

You can make a strong impression not only with unique wallpapers or vibrant furniture, but also with an unusual interior door or wardrobe. Let's explore how the most modern of these interior elements are designed.

Door "in Stone"

A choice for those who are tired of standard finishing materials. The door leaf is made from durable and easy-to-maintain ceramic tiles. The color and shade selection for "stone doors" is quite wide—from light and neutral to bright and saturated.

For example, the brand UNION offers up to 24 variants. To enhance the effect, the door frame and handle can be made from "stone." Doors in this design look strict and minimalist, fitting perfectly into a loft or modern minimalist interior.

Glass Wardrobe

Constructions made of glass always visually lighten the interior. Glass reflects and transmits light into the room, so spaces with glass walls and shelves don't require additional lighting during the day.

For convenience, there is bright lighting inside the wardrobe. With it, the wardrobe looks particularly striking.

Moreover, a glass wardrobe can serve as an original way to zone space, especially since this technique is already popular among Italian designers. Such wardrobes look like true art objects.

UNION is currently the only company offering such a solution: its multi-section FIATO doors cabinet will look great either against a wall or in the center of a large room.

Furniture from Aluminum and Glass

Aluminum and glass are used not only for doors but also for furniture. A real sensation at the ARKH Moscow-2019 exhibition was UNION's furniture and a new brand concept—doors and furniture in one style. In addition to elegant but durable aluminum profiles, the distinctive feature is a rich variety of glass shades. The facades of such furniture have a tactile effect, for example, velvet or silk. It seems like the wardrobe or shelving unit is covered with the finest fabric.

Moreover, thanks to a comprehensive approach to interior design, you can plan the space layout even during rough renovation and ultimately create a functional, color-coordinated, and textured environment. An integrated ensemble also makes the interior feel whole and less cluttered.

Magnetic Lock

Have you ever seen one like this? No more jamming mechanisms or loud slamming sounds. A door with a magnetic lock closes securely and silently, no matter how hard you push it. When opening, just lower the handle—and the lock demagnetizes instantly.

Reflective Glass

It's no secret that a mirror surface visually expands the space. A mirror placed opposite a window doubles the room's illumination and adds depth and a unique, magical atmosphere to the interior.

Especially impressive and unusual are doors and partitions with light-reflective glass with a mirror coating called Stopsol. When lit behind them, the glass becomes transparent, clearly showing what's inside; when the light is off, its properties change and it becomes a regular mirror from the outside.

Door Without Top Frame

A door can be installed using a frame without the top header, "into the ceiling." The absence of frames and a unified wall and door leaf plane make the interior very light and elegant. Tall doors significantly influence how the overall interior space is perceived. When open, they unite different rooms and let in more light and air. When closed, they emphasize and visually increase ceiling height. This technique is often used by many designers.

Sliding Mechanism Magic

Pay attention to the original way of opening a door using the Magic system—a hidden sliding mechanism. When opening or closing, it seems as if the door leaf glides along the wall like magic, floating in mid-air.
