TESS 120 - Internal Skylight System

TESS™ 120 - Internal Rail-Guided Tension System

Designed to minimise the load imposed on your structure. Any angle, any direction, anywhere.
Where tensioned fabric is required for lighter structures, the TESS™ 120 is the answer. The aluminium frame retains the tension force of the blind, and the weight of the system is distributed via multiple fixing points. Unlimited colour finishes and a wide range of fabrics make it suitable for any project. The single barrel mechanism keeps the fabric constantly under tension and produces a smooth, quiet travel.

This product is designed and engineered by Guthrie Douglas - 

- a unique team of specialist engineers with the sole focus of creating technical shading systems for extraordinary spaces. They are problem solvers, tinkerers, and sticklers for detail.

Through Artisan, Guthrie Douglas will collaborate with architects and design teams as early in the process as possible, to specify a shading system specific to your project, that will disappear into its surroundings when not in use, harnessing the power of light and shade as positive architectural features, rather than restrictions or problems to be overcome later.

Ethical Production.

Our handmade rugs are all ethically produced, we work with our suppliers to ensure no child labour is used in our production and that fair and ethical working conditions are maintained.

To provide an essence of how rugs are produced by many of our suppliers, we would like to recite the incredibly apt words of world famous rug designer, Lila Valaden.

"The art of carpet weaving is one of the oldest cultural achievements of many nations. The complete process is based on an old tradition allowing nomads a self- sufficient and sustainable way of life. Contributing to maintaining this age-old craft, whilst supporting local communities, families and education. For us, sustainability is not just a word. It sits at the heart of how we trade and produce carpets around the world."

Natural Materials.

Our natural fibre flooring is imported from exotic destinations around the world. Sisal, extracted from the Agave Sisalana plant, is grown in Brazil, Mexico, China and Africa. Jute is made from the root of giant corchorus plants grown in Bangladesh. Seagrass is collected from the paddy fields and riverbanks of China and Vietnam. And Coir, a fibre hand removed from the coconut husk, is grown on the swaying palms of India.

Once Sisal, Seagrass, and Jute are harvested, the fibres are graded for length and quality. Then after colouring and drying in the sun, they are spun into yarn or cords suitable for weaving. Coir, the toughest fibre, is first softened in seawater lagoons and pounded into a soft filament, ready for spinning into yarns. The spools of yarn are then woven on jacquard looms, a slow delicate process, best for producing the beautiful and intricate patterns and designs. Some Sisal is exported to Belgium and the Netherlands for weaving, but the majority of the other yarns are woven in the counties where it is grown. A natural rubber latex backing is applied for dimensional stability Strength and Performance.
