For decades, window treatments have played a crucial role in shaping the ambiance and functionality of our living spaces. But what truly elevates a simple curtain or drape into a design statement? The answer lies in the hardware. Stilling, a renowned Danish manufacturer with a rich heritage, has mastered the art of crafting exceptional curtain hardware that elevates both form and function. Recently, MAC Shade Solutions has partnered with Stilling to bring their exceptional curtain tracks and hardware to Australian retailers – so, let’s get to know this renowned brand!
A Legacy Rooted in Craftsmanship
Stilling’s story begins in 1949, with Preben Stilling-Petersen, a young entrepreneur with a vision. From his humble beginnings selling blinds door-to-door, the company has evolved into Scandinavia’s leading supplier of curtain rods, tracks, and equipment. The core values established by Preben – uncompromising quality, innovative design, and respect for the environment – continue to guide Stilling’s journey today.
Unveiling the Stilling Philosophy: More Than Just Hardware
Stilling believes that a curtain track or rod is more than just a functional element. It’s a design statement, an integral part of the overall interior aesthetic. Their philosophy revolves around creating hardware that seamlessly complements any space, whether modern and minimalist or classic and traditional.
Customisation: Tailoring to Your Vision
One of Stilling’s defining strengths is customisation. Their extensive portfolio boasts around 30 different curtain track profiles, several of which are considered classics by designers and architects. These tracks can be customised in terms of:
- Shape: From the classic straight track to super-elliptical options, Stilling caters to both traditional and contemporary design preferences.
- Colour: Gone are the days of bland, metallic tracks. Stilling offers a diverse colour palette, including the new limited-edition Coastal Blue and Green Leaf hues inspired by nature.
- Function: Pushing the boundaries of innovation, Stilling offers tracks with integrated LED lighting, motorisation with voice control, and even bespoke bending capabilities.
Innovation: Where Function Meets Style
Stilling doesn’t shy away from innovation. Their commitment to pushing boundaries is evident in their integration of cutting-edge features:
- LED Lighting: Elevate your window treatments with integrated LED lighting for a touch of modern elegance.
- Motorisation: Experience the convenience of motorised tracks that open and close with the touch of a button or even voice control.
- Curtain Bending Solutions: Create stunning curved and bent curtain installations with Stilling’s bespoke bending technology.
Sustainable Solutions: The SUSTAIN™ Label
In today’s environmentally conscious world, sustainability is no longer an option; it’s a necessity. Stilling recognises this and has established the SUSTAIN™ label. Products bearing this label signify their commitment to minimising environmental impact throughout the product’s lifecycle. Here’s what sets SUSTAIN™ products apart:
- Recycled Materials: Stilling prioritises using recycled materials wherever possible. Their SUSTAIN™ tracks, for example, are made from at least 75% recycled aluminium.
- Durability: Sustainability isn’t just about using recycled materials; it’s about longevity. SUSTAIN™ products are rigorously tested to ensure they last, minimising the need for replacements.
- Recyclability: When the time comes for replacement, SUSTAIN™ products are designed to be easily disassembled and recycled, further reducing environmental impact.
- Minimised Energy Consumption: From production to transportation, energy consumption is minimised. Stilling even sources materials locally whenever possible to reduce transportation footprints.
