Fractions combines engineering expertise with top Dutch design

Shutters in interiors are as popular as ever. With years of expertise in window decoration, Fractions has redefined the shutter. This resulted in a technically perfected product, made of aluminum, with a design never before seen.

A unique collaboration

CEO Patrick van Loosbroek explains: "Fractions succeeded in taking the shutter phenomenon to the next level by applying aluminum. By collaborating with top designer Osiris Hertman, we were able to go one step further in light experience, adding design to functionality. His unique designs were based on the interplay of daylight, shutter and shadow. The end result is "Fractions by Osiris," a technically perfect product with a look that even the most pampered interior designer cannot ignore. We can safely say that our mission succeeded."

The birth of 'Fractions'

Osiris Hertman wanted to say goodbye to the line pattern of traditional blinds. "From a basic aluminum sheet, any pattern is conceivable," he stated. "Sometimes we don't think about it, but daylight is an important ingredient in our daily lives. The amount of light and the incidence of light often determine where we prefer to sit and how a home is decorated. Fractions has become a play between light and shadow," said the designer. The elegant designs Osiris Hertman created for Fractions express his love for craft and materials. That combined with the technical expertise of Fractions produces an exclusive form of window decoration, with optimal light output."

Osiris: "The seven patterns are all different and give a completely different atmosphere to the space. It is warm, sensual, playful and powerful. You can vary enormously with the light intensity by opening the shutters more or slightly less and creating a busier or quieter pattern. Fractions are compact aluminum shutters and allow you to play between open and closed and determine the desired light intensity in the room; they form a true dance of moving patterns, light and shadow. The shadow patterns these Fractions bring to the wall, ceiling and floor are reminiscent of the rays of light from lamps with perforations from Asia and Morocco, among others."

Functional may also be beautiful

In conclusion, Patrick van Loosbroek says: "Fractions is 100% 'Made in Holland', for the end user this means fast delivery time and a guarantee of quality. Due to the production process, the use of aluminum and the avoidance of long transport, Fractions are extremely durable. In addition, they limit the view, are easier to use and easy to maintain. The whole is supported in an aluminum frame that integrates smart adjustability for mounting and optimal closure by means of magnetic strips. Powder coatings are available not only in white, but from metallic to textured. Osiris has also released a color recommendation for each model. They are now truly distinctive but also more compatible with different interior styles. After all, functional can also be beautiful."
