Swiss design studio THISMADE presents what it calls the “Lamellenrolltüre” — a slatted roller‑door system aimed at combining flexibility, compactness and structural solidity. On its news pages the firm describes the product as “flexible like a roller shutter, space‑saving like a sliding door, light as a curtain.”
In its closed state, the system is described as “stiff like a board” — providing a firm barrier between two spaces. When opened, it becomes “soft and flexible”, allowing movement through with ease and minimal visual bulk. The design philosophy here is to merge three traditionally distinct virtues of doors: the roll‑up nature of shutters, the small footprint of sliding doors, and the airy presence of curtains.
While the public documentation does not supply detailed technical measurements (such as slat thickness, maximum width/height, or materials used), the narrative suggests a system of horizontal slats (lamellae) that roll or fold into a compact module when open, then form a solid panel when shut. The statement “whether the opening is narrow or wide, simple or complex, the principle remains the same” further underscores a modular intent.
From an architectural or furnishings perspective, this door system might serve where an opening needs both transparency (when open) and strong separation (when closed). Its aesthetic emphasis lies in minimal visible housing and smooth transitions between states, rather than traditional bulky shutter cassettes or heavy sliding panels.
At present there is no published pricing information, so budget or specification planning will require direct consultation with THISMADE. Despite the lack of detailed figures, the Lamellenrolltüre stands out as a thoughtful hybrid solution — blending the slack‑roll behavior of a curtain with the closure strength of a door.
