Sliding Doors
The material surfaces pictured may not be identical in color and texture to the finished product.
Iron rust
Iron rust
Iron rust sliding doors give your furniture a highly unique character. These one-of-a-kind pieces are painstakingly made by
hand. The individual iron sheets are stamped, folded, fitted with recessed grips, and polished. Then they are exposed to the
sun and rain in the Ticino region for around 4 months, being brushed and turned every 3 weeks. Weather influences their color,
tone, and texture. Finally, they are heated to approx. 250° Celsius in an oven, then treated with a special blend of oil, wax, and
tar to prevent them from rusting again.
Slate veneer

V1

V2
jeera green
Slate sliding doors bring a touch of nature into your home. The veneer is not made from imitation stone. Therefore, there are
natural differences in color and texture between the individual doors. The veneer, which is about 1.5 mm thick, is glued to a
base plate made of Alucobond*, creating impact-resistant doors. The slate veneer has a slightly rough feel, and is available in
three varieties: black slate, jeera green, and autumn rustic.

* ALUCOBOND® is a composite panel made of two aluminum layers and a synthetic, polyethylene core. It provides an
impressive balance of weight and stiffness. ALUCOBOND® is fully recyclable, meaning both its core material and aluminum covers
can be returned to the materials cycle and used to produce new materials.

kt.COLOR* sliding doors are available in seven different pigment colors. They come in the most beautiful colors we could find
– deep, harmonious, and unique. They sparkle like fresh-fallen snow, and shine like the moonlight.
* Katrin Trautwein and her team produce these pigment colors in their factory, which is the only one of its kind in the world. They are crafted by hand
from more than 120 different pigments. The raw materials come from chalk cliffs, ocher pits, or mountain ranges. kt.COLOR became famous for developing the colors used by Le Corbusier in his architecture. The 81 colors with Le Corbusier references have now grown to 225 colors with a variety of
references. Each kt.COLOR pigment has a unique story.

The wooden sliding doors are available in a naturally varnished design and in six additional colors. The natural texture of the
wood is clearly visible. The doors are made of an HPL* core panel with birch wood veneer on both sides.
* HPL (High Pressure Laminate) consists of multiple layers of paper coated in resin, then pressed together under high pressure to form a very resistant and stable material. The water-based varnish and colored varnish are non-toxic.

Glossy acrylic glass doors are available in 6 different color shades. The grippy, shiny surface requires no recessed handles. In
comparison to the calendered doors, objects inside the modules won’t be visible through the door. Acrylic glass
combines the advantages of glass and plastic, and is highly stable.

Calendered acrylic glass doors are available in 14 different color shades. They have a pleasant, velvety, matte surface. Some
colors are more transparent than others, and the color shade can be influenced by the color of the module. White modules will
cause the glass to look more luminous, while on black modules it looks more matte. With light colors, contours of the objects
in the module will shine through slightly. Acrylic glass combines the advantages of glass and plastic, and is highly stable.
