A timeless classic in the collection of Ann Idstein.
System W was created by Swiss industrial designer Christophe Marchand. The idea behind the design, was to create a system that doesn’t cover the full space between floor and ceiling, but rather to have an adjustable textile element that can be moved freely. System W can function both as a sun shade or as a partial room divider.
Flexible functionality and an aesthetical lightness are caracteristic traits of the System W. The System is manufactured from high quality aluminium- and stainless steel components as well as high end textiles.
System W with cord control is offered in 3 versions. The basic type W1 has one textile fond and one cord control. System W2 functions in the same way as W1, but there are two textile fonds connected to eachother at a fix distance. The System W3 has 2 cord controls, enabling 2 textile fonds to be adjusted individually.
It is also possible to equip all cord control System W’s with gliders, enabling the System to be slid sideways in a track rail. The types W1 and W2 can also be motorized.
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.
