layered shades

hybrid of fabric shades and horizontal blinds

In two closely linked layers of fabric, stripes of sheer fabric combine with tightly woven bands of colour. As you adjust the height of the shade, you can also fine-tune the light by overlapping the solid-colour vanes to filter or block the light, or find the perfect position in-between, letting the sheer fabric protect your furniture, flooring, and artwork from damaging UV rays. The wide, bold stripes frame your outlook with clean horizontal lines — and no visible seams disrupt the fabric's pattern or the panorama beyond the glass. When fully raised the shades disappear completely, creating an elegantly fabric-wrapped cassette valance.
