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 for such doors 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. For an added effect, you can make the door frame and handle from "stone." Doors in this design look strict and minimalist, fitting perfectly into a loft or modern minimalism 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 do not require additional lighting during the day.

For convenience, there is bright illumination inside the wardrobe. With it, the wardrobe looks especially striking.

Moreover, a glass wardrobe can serve as an original way to zone space—especially since this approach is already popular among Italian designers. Such a wardrobe looks like a real art object.

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 true sensation at the ARKH Moscow-2019 exhibition was UNION's furniture and a new brand concept—doors and furniture in one style. Besides elegant yet durable aluminum profiles, the distinctive feature is the rich variety of glass shades. Facades of such furniture have a tactile effect, for example, velvet or silk. It seems as though the dresser or shelf is upholstered with the finest fabric.

Additionally, thanks to a holistic approach, interior decoration can be planned even at the rough finishing stage, ultimately creating a functional and harmonious space in color and texture. Furthermore, such a unified ensemble makes the interior feel whole and less cluttered.

Magnetic Lock

Have you ever seen one of these? No more sticky 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 space. A mirror installed opposite a window effectively doubles the room's lighting and adds depth and a magical, unique atmosphere to the interior.

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

Door Without Top Section

A door can be installed using a frame without the top header, "into the ceiling." The absence of frames and the unified plane of wall and door leaf make the interior look very light and elegant. Tall doors significantly influence the overall perception of the interior. When open, they unite spaces in different rooms, allowing more light and air to flow through. When closed, they emphasize and visually increase ceiling height. This approach 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 the door, it seems as though the leaf moves along the wall like magic, floating in the air.
