Shoji: translated as "Interceptor". Traditionally a sliding panel used as a door or window to form an elegant partition.
Japanese Shoji brings a sense of calm, space and simple elegance to any room.
The beauty and elegance of Shoji is achieved using a hardwood frame of Tasmanian Oak (Victorian Ash). This timber, chosen for its grain and density, achieves the quality of traditional Shoji.
Contained within the beautiful Tasmanian Oak frame are panels of traditional paper or more enduring and practical Perspex. These translucent materials filter the outside light to create a soft and calm interior to your living space.
All our Shoji is custom made. Custom design ensures that the screen becomes something unique and personal.
The translucent panels are tastefully divided by a system of delicate timber latticework (Kumiko). The style of this Kumiko is chosen by you, further adding to the beauty of your Shoji.
The timber frame and Kumiko is finished with a clear or coloured lacquer, using a colour chosen by you.
Custom Designs produces both sliding and bi-fold doors in addition to other styles, which we feel combine the traditional feel of the Japanese screens with the practicality demanded by the Western lifestyle.
