'Durable roller blind system Kvadrat Shade Minimal added to Kvadrat Shade family'

Minimal is a roller blind designed by Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec for "the ultimate minimal. Its minimalist, industrial look fits seamlessly into most spaces, according to Erwan Bouroullec. "The core element of this roller blind is an innovative bracket made out of one piece of folded steel. When I designed Minimal, I stripped the design down completely. The beauty is in the few components that balance with each other. A system that explains itself to the user, strong and clear. And Minimal not only keeps material use to a minimum, it is also durable and easy to assemble, install and use." 

Sustainability

"Thanks to the limited use of materials, the carbon footprint of this product is relatively low," says Lindsay Hovenier, R&D and Expert Centre Coordinator at Kvadrat Verosol. "Moreover, by equipping the roller blind with a metallized textile from Kvadrat Verosol, up to 25% of energy can be saved on an annual basis. This is because our metallized indoor blinds ensure that the interior stays cool in summer and pleasantly warm in winter. Thanks to the metallized layer, blinding sunlight is kept out while you continue to enjoy optimal views and plenty of daylight. In addition, the aluminum layer makes daytime viewing impossible." 

To support architects and designers in their pursuit of sustainable goals, Kvadrat Shade is launching an online tool to measure how long it takes to reach the point of carbon neutral break-even with a product from the Kvadrat Shade collection.

Choice

Available in a variety of colors and finishes and in the three sizes S, M and L, the Minimal bracket accommodates all available operation options: chain, the patented Twin Pull and motorized. For quick and safe installation, profiles in custom widths are available for the S and M systems.
