DORMA, Modernfold products win Interior Design accolades

Who says functional can’t be beautiful?

The MAGNEO Sliding door system from DORMA Entrance Systems and the MOVEO Moveable Glass Wall System from Modernfold were recently honored with “Best of the Year Awards” for 2009 by Interior Design magazine.

The slim profile-edge glass panels in the new MOVEO® Moveable Glass Wall System offer unprecedented openness and daylighting while delivering sound insulation ratings up to 45 STC for exceptional privacy. The MOVEO system is ideal for offices and conference rooms, restaurants, hotels, meeting facilities and educational settings. MOVEO glass panels provide an attractive, solution to demanding interior space division needs. Unlike conventional solid panels, MOVEO glass panels permit unobstructed sightlines between partitioned areas, helping to create an inviting atmosphere.

Powered by advanced linear magnetic drive technology (LMD), the MAGNEO sliding door system opens and closes doors with an even gliding action that’s virtually free of sound and friction. To complement the smooth movement, the MAGNEO system’s clean lines and unobtrusive, low-profile header blend seamlessly into commercial or residential settings, especially those with a modern or minimalist design motif. It is the only sliding door entrance system to utilize LMD technology instead of belts, pulleys, gears or motors. The unparalleled MAGNEO system enables a sliding door to open and close on an electromagnetic “cushion,” reducing wear, noise and maintenance.

Best of Year and Merit Winners in all categories will be announced during a live ceremony at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City on December 3, 2009.
