ECLISSE Syntesis: When Less Becomes More
As contemporary architecture moves towards cleaner lines, flexible spaces and increasingly refined detailing, the humble door is being reconsidered. ECLISSE combines space-saving pocket door technology with its Syntesis range of flush, concealed-frame solutions to give architects and designers greater freedom over how an opening interacts with the surrounding architecture. Doors are one of the most familiar elements in any interior, yet they can have a surprisingly significant influence on how a space is planned and experienced. A conventional hinged door requires clearance to open, dictates where furniture can be positioned and introduces frames, architraves and ironmongery into the visual language of a room. ECLISSE approaches the doorway
differently. Its range of sliding pocket door systems allows the door leaf to disappear into a cassette concealed within the wall, eliminating the traditional swing arc and releasing valuable floor and wall space. In smaller rooms that can make a practical difference to usable area; in larger schemes it can help create more flexible connections between spaces.
The ECLISSE Classic range provides the traditional starting point. Designed to be finished with jambs and architraves, it includes single and double pocket doors alongside more specialised configurations for wider or more complex openings. Telescopic systems, glass doors and wiring- ready options broaden the scope further, enabling the pocket door principle to be applied across a wide variety of residential and commercial layouts. But for projects where architectural simplicity is central to the design, it is the Syntesis range that perhaps best demonstrates the ECLISSE philosophy. Syntesis has been developed around one central idea: remove the unnecessary visual elements around the doorway. The Syntesis Flush pocket door system eliminates visible jambs and architraves, allowing the plaster finish to continue cleanly to the edge of the opening. With the door open, the leaf disappears into the wall and the transition between adjoining spaces becomes exceptionally understated. Achieving that simplicity requires
considerable thought behind the finished surface. Reinforced profiles and carefully
engineered junctions are designed to create a rigid interface between the frame and surrounding wall, helping produce the crisp plaster lines expected from a frameless installation. The system is available in single and double configurations, with different finished wall thicknesses and non-standard sizes available for projects requiring greater flexibility. The same visual language can continue
through Syntesis Flush hinged doors. Here, a concealed aluminium frame is built into the wall so that the closed door sits flush with its surrounding surface. Rather than framing the doorway, the architecture itself becomes the frame. This creates two very different design
opportunities. The door can be painted or finished to blend into the wall, allowing it to almost disappear, or deliberately contrasted to create a strong graphic element without the distraction of architraves. Syntesis also extends beyond the door opening itself. A flush skirting board adaptor enables skirting to sit in line with the finished wall rather than projecting from it, helping designers maintain the
