In modern housing, whether it's a compact studio or a spacious open space, the main enemy of space is "dead zones." They inevitably appear where there are hinged (swinging) doors. An open cabinet in the kitchen blocks the passage, and a mezzanine door in the bathroom creates a risk of injury. Even in a large room, standard doors "steal" the usable area necessary for their opening.
That is why the transition to systems that move vertically or are hidden in the housing has become not just a fashion, but an urgent need. This is the first step towards true ergonomics, where space for living is valued more than space for furniture.

Hidden potential: the advantages of the RAUVOLET system
Systems RAUVOLET furniture blinds from REHAU is an engineering solution designed to solve the problem of limited space. Unlike traditional doors, they offer a number of fundamental advantages:
- space saving. This is a key factor. The blinds slide smoothly along the guides and are hidden in the cabinet body (top or back). This allows you to design functional storage areas in places where there simply wouldn’t be enough space for hinged doors: in narrow corners, above work surfaces or in tight niches;
- instant access. One easy movement opens the entire section. This is simply necessary for trendy “coffee stations” in the kitchen, where a toaster, coffee machine and blender are hidden behind a single facade;
- safety and acoustics. The smooth and silent operation of the mechanisms eliminates loud banging. The absence of sharp corners of the open door makes the space safer, which is especially important for families with children.
RAUVOLET works effectively in any scenario: from quickly hiding office equipment in a home office before a video call to organizing a minibar in the living room.
Roller shutters help to perfectly organize the coffee machine area, hiding the equipment and maintaining clean lines.
Aesthetics of touch
Until recently, furniture blinds were perceived as a purely utilitarian component, where aesthetics were given secondary attention. The RAUVOLET noble matt collection has radically changed this perception. REHAU has managed to take the engineering advantage of vertical opening and combine it with one of the most advanced surfaces on the market.
The deep, velvety, super-matte noble matt surface is the embodiment of modern tactile and visual trends. It hardly reflects light, but absorbs it, creating an atmosphere of calm and warmth in the interior.

At the same time, this aesthetic is backed by high German practicality. The surface has a protective coating that makes it resistant to scratches and, most importantly for matte textures, fingerprints (anti-fingerprint technology). It is pleasant to touch and forgives daily contact. It is in the noble matt collection that ergonomics have finally combined with high aesthetics. Now blinds are not something that they want to hide, but something that becomes an accent element of design.

Design synergy
The most difficult thing in designing minimalist interiors is to avoid a "material conflict." How do you choose a cabinet front, countertop, and blinds so that they don't clash with each other, but create a single, coherent canvas?
The uniqueness of REHAU's offer is that RAUVOLET noble matt is not a separate product that exists in a vacuum. It is part of a comprehensive ecosystem of materials designed to create a "seamless" design. The company offers the designer a complete library of surfaces that perfectly harmonize with each other in color and texture. This allows you to achieve the effect of complete monolithicity.
Smart vertical storage organization using roller shutter systems for a sleek look
- For vertical surfaces (facades and cabinets), RAUVOLET noble matt blinds have exact counterparts in other REHAU facade materials. The premium solution is the combination with RAUVISIO brilliant noble matt. This tandem creates a completely integrated look, where the blinds and the blank cabinet facade appear to be cut from a single block of material. The new RAUVISIO tone collection offers an optimized solution. It has the same super-matt aesthetics and tactility, allowing you to harmoniously combine the blinds with other facades, but optimize the project budget without visual compromises.
- For horizontal surfaces (tabletops and work areas), the innovative HPL laminate RAUVISIO noir is a logical addition. This collection, designed for high-duty worktops, has the same velvety matt aesthetic as noble matt.
As a result, the designer receives a full set of tools. You can design a kitchen island or an office block where the blinds, vertical facades and horizontal countertop are in complete color and tactile harmony. Visual gaps and joints disappear - only pure form remains.
