It doesn't always have to be angular
Organic shapes and soft curves have been popular choices in the interior design of many types of building environments for a while now, and the trend shows no signs of dissipating. When situated in the middle of linear and square spatial layouts, round and curved glazed partitions serve as a refreshing addition to a space that not only result in more spacious, well-lit working areas, but also add a sense of comfort and an undeniable ‘wow’ factor.
Curved glazed partitions: Round is the new square
Following a period where aesthetically clean shapes and straight lines have been the ideal, the trend has now begun to move towards curved corners and circular details, especially in relation to the interior layout of office environments. The rounded lines and soft shapes are said to be the key to creating a sense of well-being and comfort, as they are pleasant to look at and create a warm and friendly atmosphere.
At DEKO, a glazed partition doesn’t need to be angular, and our curved glazed partition solutions for interior layouts of office and institution projects are in high demand. The glazed partitions consist of fully or partially curved glass and can be made to create circular or amoeba-shaped rooms or straight glazed partitions along the edge of the building elements in a curved shape, forming rounded lines and wavy forms.
The curved glazed partition solutions are so popular because they provide an opportunity to create a different and entirely unique look. They add a ‘wow’ factor and playful streak to the room and can help soften up spaces with very few interior layout elements. Our curved glazed partitions come in many varieties and with the option to incorporate fire-rated and sound-insulating glass into the solution. Solid timber doors can be installed between the curved glazed panels.
Bespoke solutions with a focus on innovation
DEKO has extensive experience in solving technically demanding and complex assignments in collaboration with architects and contractors. Axel Towers in Copenhagen serves as a great example of a DEKO FG Nature curved glazed partition solution using straight glass along the edge of the building elements, which required a great deal of precision work and innovation.
The characteristic round forms of the building’s exterior and interior required bespoke solutions involving curved glass and hardwood door frames and profiles. This has resulted in an overall look that is completely unique, and even though the glazed partitions are angular, they create a winding and curved illusion, which required no small amount of technical and creative finesse.
Rounded glass floors with fire classification
DEKO also offers round horizontal glass floors which make it possible to extend daylight to lower floors, thereby opening up new areas of a building to natural lighting. Aside from the obvious benefits of increased utilisation of natural lighting, the round floors also serve as a decorative element that stands in contrast to typically solid, uniform-looking floors.
