In the modern conception of the home, where often there are very few load-bearing walls, bookcases and wardrobes are often used to divide (or unite) the various zones. Today, thanks to the increasingly frequent use of glass, they can become showcases for the display of books, objects and clothing. Elements that separate without creating drastic visual barriers. The character of these architectural frames is set by metal structures and supports, which in the dialogue between form and content, inside and outside, generate light silhouettes that can be enhanced and personalized with ideal accessories for the rational use of space.
The Vertical modular bookcase (on cover) by Arrital, part of the project-collection Feeling Home (designed by Franco Driusso), becomes a practical divider between two zones of the house, since it is always finished on all sides. Also available in the wall-mounted version, it can accommodate different types of shelves and storage modules of various sizes.
A black+white effect for the Storage Battente wardrobe by Porro, designed by Piero Lissoni + CRS Porro. Storage wears Iron doors in transparent glass with an iron framework, granting visibility to the structure in white ash wood, combined with elements in black coated metal: the refined chromatic effects are emphasized by the luminous shelves in transparent glass.
Tian, meaning “sky” in Chinese, is a modular wardrobe by Lema entirely made of glass. The project is innovative in technological terms, based on the development of a set of aluminium frames that become the skeleton. The frames are closed on the outside by tempered glass panels with a thickness of 4 mm, in extra-light transparent, gray fumé or reflecting bronze glass. Inside, they open to form a pass-through compartment. Offering multiple possibilities for internal personalization.

Palo Alto Free is the new nighttime system of MisuraEmme by Gianni Borgonovo, calling for the use of doors directly supported by floor-to-ceiling posts that generate the structure. It can be utilized as a closure system for niches or as a space divider. Palo Alto Free is compatible with the Rex door, featuring an innovative opening mechanism that permits shifting of one or more pairs of doors from the closed position to total openness at 180°, generating openings about two meters in width.

The purity of glass joins the solidity of aluminium to create a boundary that divides spaces in a dynamic, elegant way. A mixture of materials derived from a forcefully architectural idea, which the doors of the Ego line of DOOR2000 interpret with their perfect insertion in the surrounding setting. The series offers many versions, thanks to the complete range of RAL finishes and the various types of glass.
The Zefiro system produced by Linvisibile is composed of flanked vertical and sliding doors, made to be light and manageable. In the photo, the system is used as a divider for the passage between the entrance zone and the living area, in a game of perforated metal applied to transparent extra-clear glass. Zefiro stands out for its modular design, which offers total freedom of application. The innovative Fly version introduces a new level of flexibility: not only can the doors rotate, but they also can slide, individually or as a complete system, gathered into the desired position.
