[Architecture Design Solutions]
Over the past decades, we have had the pleasure of working with many renowned studios and architects, such as Herzog & De Meuron, SANAA, Foster + Partners, Adjaye & Associates, DS+R, Gensler, Coop Himmelb(l)au and Rem Koolhaas. Renowned textile designers and artists such as Petra Blaisse (Inside Outside) and Pae White also rely on us as partners for the implementation of complex architectural projects. In most cases, we take care of both the manufacturing of the designed curtains and the technical implementation of the track systems and substructures. We are proud to be able to use our products from the field of theatre and event technology more and more frequently for innovative architectural products.
For unique architectural features and special room installations, the ring and scale meshes of the G-MESH product family are an exciting alternative to classic textiles. The metal curtains made of stainless steel, bronze, brass or aluminium offer an exciting play of colours and light in addition to their semi-transparent appearance. The metal curtains are also ideal for outdoor use due to their weather resistance.
System Highlights
- Metal curtains as ring mesh or scale pattern
- Large material selection
- Weatherproof and durable
- Optimal in combination with an innovative lighting concept
- For permanent static installation or movable applications via our various tracking systems
In the classical sense, a decorative curtain is an elaborately decorated, embroidered, painted or bordered main curtain in a theatre or opera house. In the course of time, processing methods such as digital printing or laser cutting were added. The high-quality, elaborately handcrafted decorative curtains by Gerriets now not only adorn cultural buildings such as the Oslo Opera House or the Semper Opera House in Dresden, but also architectural gems such as the National Library in Qatar or the new Headquarters of Axel Springer SE in Berlin.
System Highlights
- Individually handmade decorative curtains
- Decades of experience in finishing textiles
- Can be used as a main curtain in the theatre or as an individual room sculpture
- A wide variety of processing techniques such as embroidery, printing, knotting or gilding
