The Paravent, designed by Christophe Marchand is a free-standing room divider made of form pressed felt slats.
Fibers made of recycled plastic bottles are pressed into 12 mm thick sheets of massive felt. After the pressing, each slat is cut out by waterjet. In the last step of production, the slats are connected through the use of a 3 mm cord.
The combination of industrial production and manual labour are clearly visible in the precise shape of the pressed slats and the connetion cord which has been threaded by hand . The Paravent is available in light grey and anthracite and both colours come in 2 sizes. P130 is 1300 mm high and the large model P180 has a height of 1800 mm.
Apart from being a flexible room divider, the product also has acoustic properties. The Paravent is placed free-standing on the floor and can be shaped in any desired formation. The soft surface makes it suitable for use on all kinds of floors without causing scratches.
When needed, the Paravent can easily be folded and stowed. Due to its light weight, it is also easy to transport. A mobile piece of furniture for variable division and creation of interior space.
Start by checking that the surface is suitable for the purpose of fitting a blind. Make sure that fittings can be properly attached and that the surface is strong enough to carry the weight of the product. The surface should be even and it is important that the measuring points you are considering, are well aligned.
Width measurement
1. When fitting a free hanging product:
Measure the desired width of the ready made product and use
this measurement as your system width when ordering.
2. When fitting a product from wall to wall:
Measure the width at three points; at the top, in the middle
and at the bottom. If the measurements deviate, please use the
smallest one and deduct according to the chart below, in order
to calculate your system width. When measuring for Roller
Blinds, it is sufficient to measure the width at the top.
Height measurement
1. When fitting a free hanging product:
Measure the height from the ceiling or from a point on the wall
to the point where you want the lower edge of the product to
be. Use this measurement as your system height.
2. When fitting a product from wall to wall:
Measure the height at three points; to the left, in the middle
and on the right. If the measurements deviate, please use the
smallest one and deduct according to the chart below, in order
to calculate your system height.

** The production height of Venetian Blinds is dependent on the pitch within the ladder cords and therefore, an exact height cannot be guaranteed. You can choose to order by sending us your height measurement without deduction and letting us know whether you prefer your blind to be ”Plus”, meaning that the blind will be at least as high as the height measurement prior to deduction or ”Minus” if you want to make sure that the blind is guaranteed not to sit on the floor, window board etc. when pulled down.
