Interior Curtain Systems in Design Center | Cascade Architectural

For decades, Cascade Coil’s architectural systems have been specified for dazzling interior designs. Fabricoil^® from Cascade Coil was used in the Johnson & Johnson Design Center, a creative workspace for members of the company’s design team located in New York. It serves as the hub for employees charged with important responsibilities, such as user interface and user experience for websites and environmental design.

Because the studio is primarily an open space, the interior design team sought a material that would add a decorative touch but also fulfill a variety of other functions. By selecting 1/8” Fabricoil^® with a brightened finish, designers created operable, space-dividing partitions that also offer privacy.

Fabricoil^® is a semi-transparent material that does not totally isolate areas of the room when used as a partition but still allows views through the material. This was important for the Johnson & Johnson Design Center, giving employees a sense of cohesion and not restricting collaboration. Alternatively, Fabricoil^® serves as a solar shading mechanism for the studio’s large window expanses. The metal mesh allows a degree of light to pass through but blocks enough of the sun’s rays to reduce glare and keep temperatures from rising. This results in energy savings for the facility.
