Planus, the natural extension of Pavilion system, is an independent self-standing program of hinged doors, well integrated, fitted to the wall thanks to a false door post disappearing into the wall.
Planus Sette, the aluminum subframe to be walled up and finished, has a very small size. The main characteristic of the door is to be mounted flush on the push side. This solution with framing (available both for gypsum or concrete structure) and panel finished like the wall can be quickly and easily installed.
The design quality complies with the technical solution, achieving an integration of the complete door into the wall, almost disappearing, on both pushing and pulling opening direction. Its richness depends on the wide range of materials and finishes, which stand out, hide and disappear.
Planus is available with hinged doors with or without trims, with panels at the same level of the wall or sliding inside the wall. The wide range of materials and finishes comply with every taste, while always offering a fine and elegant image.
The above mentioned coating system is part of Pavilion, Planus, Pavilion+Planus and Continuum program. All together they represent the results of Architect Antonio Citterio’s creativity and are characterized by strong personality, essential design, technological materials and solutions.
All products design Antonio Citterio can be combined together, offering a wide range of technical and aesthetically solutions.
