Anthracite Pleated Blind

On recent years' residential and office façades, anthracite joinery has become standard. Dark grey-black profiles count as modern architecture's signature. The anthracite blind is this signature's continuation indoors.

In a corporate space anthracite builds authority. In the executive room, meeting hall and reception area it produces a strong but courteous ground. It gives the same discipline without carrying black's aggressiveness.

In colour psychology anthracite reads as seriousness and determination. That is why it is often chosen in law, finance and consulting offices. It carries trust in the first impression given to the client.

Anthracite is a strong tone and strength asks for dose. In an amply lit, large room it is comfortably applied to every window. In a narrow, low-light room, keeping it to a single façade preserves the balance.

With a white wall and light floor, anthracite builds maximum contrast. It is the softened state of the black-and-white composition; there is drama but no absoluteness.

In wet volumes anthracite shows water marks less than white. In practical spaces like the bathroom and kitchen the dark tone also has a maintenance advantage.
