Details
NODEA, LIXIL's high-end brand for the affluent market, released a new panorama window called "SEAMLESS." It is the pinnacle of the NODREA collection and features: glass panel structure with edge material made of CFRP (a carbon fibre composite), flattening of multiple glass panels when the window is closed by parallel/sliding drive, flattening of interior/exterior lower and upper surfaces when the window is open by a concealed mechanism, triple glazing and CFRP for superior airtightness and thermal insulation. An infinitely minimalist form respecting landscape and architecture—a first-of-its-kind window created with LIXIL technology.
The Jury‘s Statement
An almost invisible connection between interior and exterior characterises »NODEA SEAMLESS«. The striking reduction to minimal frames, combined with subtly integrated opening mechanisms, creates an aesthetic lightness that fascinates. Consistent material choices and technical sophistication result in a window that sets benchmarks for functional elegance. This accomplished synthesis deserves special recognition at the highest level.
