A lovely Sapele shoji screen in our pattern 18 with Warlon “waterfall” paper.

We put a darker background here on the right, to show the paper fibers better.

And a closeup. The end of every kumiko piece is carefully beveled.

The sapele has a beautiful silky ribbon grain.

The pull, carefully cut into the frame.

These photo’s show the track mounting ledger (the light-colored board) the track, and the Sapele valance with a mitered end to wrap around to the wall. The other end will terminate into a perpendicular wall. (all these photo’s are inverted as the parts are laying on a table.) Note the metal “French cleats”, after the tracking is mounted the valance will simply clip on with no screws or nails.

 

Bolles Installed

Client install - she wanted the shoji to hide her creative kitchen. The shoji are built in Cherry with Chiri Warlon installed with surface mounted tracking.

Tokul

Maple shoji screens with Maple lower door panels and Chiri Warlon insert material.
The shoji are 35-3/8" x 95" x 1-3/8".
A centered book match on the panels, and a nicely proportionate Kumiko grid above. The panel height matches the adjacent countertop. The "Chiri" warlon is a rustic paper, with various inclusions of bark and straw.
Note the photo was taken with the left shoji having white cardboard behind, the right shoji has brown.  Chiri paper is good at concealing the darker background, and it is very effective at covering an un-lit space, like a closet or powder room, for this reason.

These are tall shoji, floor to ceiling, with a recessed ceiling track. Elvis for scale, he is 6' tall.

The book matched lower maple panels.

We spent some time developing fixtures to cut in these pulls super cleanly!

Client Install

 

Custom shoji screens for a closet, built in Cherry with Kinwashi Warlon. The kumiko pattern is a variation of K20 from our website. I like the combination of wall color with Cherry wood and the amber tone of the Warlon. Thanks to our client for sending pictures.

Thanks to our client for pictures of their bathroom shoji installed.
Three shoji on three channel tracking so all can slide to one side or the other. I thought they did a lovely job on the design of this small bathroom.

Client Install

 

Maple shoji screens for a tatami room. This was a tricky install due to the beam across the ceiling. The contractor installed a header and frame work to support the weight of the shoji. We made each pair of shoji a slightly different width so they would line up well with the shelving vertical dividers. 

Client Install
