Sliding panels first started to appear in Japan in the 13th
century. They were made of a resistant paper and were either
translucent (shoji) or opaque (fusuma) and were often hand painted
to give effect and style to rooms..

The traditional Japanese house was open plan and sliding panels
were ideal for dividing up the space into different areas i.e.
sleeping from living area. They were also used as doors on an
outside wall giving a natural transition between house and garden.
Furniture was little used but everyday items were tidied away
and hidden from view by sliding panels. |

The west has been greatly influenced by this way of living
and it shows no more strongly than at present in our architecture
and interior design.
In creating Silentium Design we would like to continue with
this tradition. Whether you wish to create an ambiance “shoji”
with our semi opaque or “fusuma” with our toile
ecru, we invite you to create a striking and visual impact with
our sliding panels. |
