Sherazade Spin Patchwork

Design

Sherazade Spin Patchwork is a pivoting glass panel designed for flexible layouts. It turns on a vertical axis with a smooth rotary movement, and the pivot can be set centrally or offset depending on the room and the desired rhythm of openings. With no stop, the door always opens in both directions. And when the pivot is central, it can rotate a full 360 degrees.

The front is divided into four distinct sections, giving the panel its “patchwork” character without feeling busy. Different glass types and finishes can be combined within those four areas, so the look can shift from quiet and minimal to more graphic and textured, while keeping a clean architectural outline. Designed by Piero Lissoni, it reads as a door, a partition, or a moving wall element—without trying too hard to be any one thing.

Materials & Build

The structure is built around aluminum profiles, with a system that holds four glass inserts in place through a central gasket. The glass options include 0.24 inch monolithic glass or laminated tempered glass at 0.12 + 0.12 inch. Finishes span clear and extra-clear, colored transparent, patterned, acid-etched, reflecting, and lacquered options, plus versions with mesh/grid or fabric effects. There is also a wooden veneered aluminum option for a warmer read alongside the metal.

Alignment is handled by a magnetic system, keeping adjacent panels crisp when used together. There is no hydraulic closure, which keeps the mechanics straightforward and the movement clean. The upper hinge body sits inside an aluminum profile designed to install flush with a false ceiling, then painted to match the surrounding wall finish.

Comfort in Use

This is a panel meant to move often. The pivot hinges are adjustable, so the swing and alignment can be tuned during installation. The bidirectional opening feels natural in circulation areas, especially when the panel is used as a threshold rather than a “doorway moment.” But it still closes with precision, helped by the magnetic alignment rather than a soft-close device.

Because the surface is divided into four glass fields, light and privacy can be balanced with more control than a single sheet. The result is a panel that can be lively in reflections, or quietly translucent, depending on the chosen mix.

Placement & Lifestyle

Placed on its own, it works as a statement door with a lighter footprint than solid materials. Set two or more side by side, it becomes a partially or fully openable partition, useful for separating living and dining areas, creating a studio zone, or giving an office a more flexible boundary. And it keeps the room connected, even when closed, thanks to the glass.

Longevity

The glass is safety certified to ANSI Z97.1 and UNI EN12150 standards (except for finish 533. Retinato). Aluminum profiles and tempered glass are naturally resilient for high-traffic settings, and the flush ceiling integration keeps the hardware visually quiet over time. For Sherazade Spin Patchwork by glasitalia, not every finish is available for every size, so selections should be confirmed against the price list before final specification.
