Custom shoji screens Sapele

A beautiful set of shoji- made in Sapele, with white Warlon paper. Our shop lighting does not do these justice. And no photo can provide the silky feel these have.

Lovely Sapele bottom panels- the light will dance across these.

The shoji screens were packaged two together and loaded into crates.

That makes it easier to handle once delivered.
Crates shown below, the reason they are so expensive to build-
they need to be stout to protect the shoji in transit.

Beech shoji screens guest room closet

Beech closet and interior window shoji - though they almost look like natural Cherry. I think the combination of the wood tones and wall colors is very appealing.
Many thanks for our client for these pictures.

Thank you to our client for pictures!
The kumiko pattern they wanted is similar to other shoji in their home. The far right shoji screen hides a mirror, which I thought was interesting. All shoji stack to the right out of the opening using upper roller tracking with floor tracking.
