Sliding Wall by Welter Wall - C-Wall moving partition - removing traditional bounds of architecture

The ultimate in futuristic simplicity, the Sliding Wall by Welter Wall features mechanisms that allow it to close with a breathtakingly smooth sliding motion. No hinges or knobs are necessary; the moving wall is shaped like a C, and so fits around the adjacent wall seamlessly, concealing its inner workings from view. The sliding wall will provide relief to those who dislike the traditional bounds of architecture. Rather than interrupt the wall which defines the space of the room, a moving partition can carry on the idea of the material used for the wall. It need not be rectangular either – the sliding wall can realise almost any free form. In addition, any material can be used to create the ideal look for your space. Allow the C-wall by Welter Wall to set your imagination in motion.

Metal Mesh by Whiting & Davis - the luxury material for your home decor

When trying to create a one-of-a-kind luxury design, when you need the type of material to make a splash, the metal mesh from Whiting & Davis is the one. "Shimmering, fluid, and dramatic, mesh creates a simple, yet lustrous pattern of texture unlike any other material."

Both camps will find myriad uses for these metal mesh products produced by Whiting & Davis. Bringing the lost art of chain mail to the twenty first century, in a range of styles and colors, Whiting & Davis are producing true luxury metal fabrics which ripple and flow like the finest silk, yet are constructed completely of small, interlocking aluminum, brass, or stainless steel links. Stock finishes range from the brightest polished silver to deep, rich bronze. Custom finishes are limited, like the use of these fine metal mesh products, only by your imagination. Whiting & Davis
