It’s common to think of interior design as dealing only with furniture, finishes, and colors—forgetting that even the smallest details, seemingly less spectacular, can become compositional opportunities. A door, for instance, is not just an opening to pass through but an element that interacts with the surrounding wall. Among its components, the frame is often relegated to a purely functional, invisible role. Yet, when carefully designed, it can become a distinctive feature—a subtle architectural cut that enhances the space with quiet expressiveness.

The ECLISSE 40 Collection was born precisely from this reflection: to transform the frame from a hidden element into an architectural protagonist. Designed by Francesco Valentini and Lorenzo Ponzelli, the Veneto-based company ECLISSE—known for its counter frames for sliding pocket doors and flush-wall systems—interprets the frame here as a threshold to be emphasized, not concealed, achieved through a slight inclination of the wall that amplifies light penetration.

The ECLISSE 40 frame introduces a 40-degree inclined border, turning the door into a narrative element: on one side, the frame stands out with a sharp cut that invites passage; on the other, the panel can remain discreet, pigmented or finished like the wall itself, blending into visual continuity.

The system is available in bronze finishes, white, or in a raw primer version ready to be painted, and it is compatible with both masonry and plasterboard walls. The range includes swing doors—single or double leaf, push or pull opening—even with a flush-to-ceiling option, maximizing visual integration. The frame can be combined with flush or inclined skirting boards, establishing absolute surface continuity. Door panels, in wood or glass, range from matte lacquered finishes to natural veneers and can be paired with the 40+uno handle, ergonomically echoing the frame’s inclination.

The collection thus reflects a philosophy where the line tells the story of the door, and the frame adds value not by adding material, but by removing it. The profile becomes a subtle incision that protects edges, frames the panel, and gives the wall back its three-dimensionality—a detail that speaks the language of design process.
