THE ZENITH™
VENETIAN BLIND
A CLASSIC RETURNS
In 1949, Preben Stilling-Petersen founded our company, starting the production of aluminum blinds in his basement in Herlev. The business grew steadily, and over time, we expanded into curtain tracks and accessories, but our love for the classic blind remains deeply rooted in our DNA.
The ZENITH™ venetian blind was originally created over a decade ago when we set out to reimagine our original blind from 1949. The result was an architecturally designed, beautiful, and highly functional blind. With distinctive design, intuitive gearing, specialized cord locks, and color-matched aluminum tilt rods, ZENITH™ boasted several features that contributed to its success, establishing it as a classic in our portfolio.
Now, the ZENITH™ venetian blind is making a comeback with brand new color combinations and finishes, while preserving its original beautiful design and functional details.
DANISH DESIGN
The development of the ZENITH™ blind has been a close collaboration with designer Peter Møller-Jensen, partner at Møller-Jensen Innovation & Design, who comes from a family with a rich heritage in architecture and design.
Peter Møller-Jensen centered the design around the concave shape of the slats, which is repeated in all components, including the top and bottom rails, end caps, and the grip on the tilt rod. This ensures a beautiful, cohesive visual expression across all elements.
The curved design is not only aesthetically pleasing but also practical. By matching the concave shape of the slats in the lower part of the headrail, the slats can be pulled closer together, reducing the amount of light when tilted. The result is a unique, beautiful blind with a Nordic, harmonious design.

Product details
THE MOST FUNCTIONAL VENETIAN ON THE MARKET
The technology behind the ZENITH™ venetian blind has been developed continuously through decades to ensure that we offer the markets most ergonomic user-experience. The special 1:1 gearing means that the venetian slats tilt from open to closed with just one rotation of the tumble rod. The specially designed grips are made from a rubberized soft-touch material, ensuring a quality feel throughout.
DETAILED DESIGN
The ZENITH™ venetian blind’s distinctive design is not pure aesthetics; it also supports a high degree of functionality. The concave shape of the headrail is not just an homage to the shape of the venetian slats, it also allows the slats to be pulled closer together when the blind is open.
MIX & MATCH
The collection contains 57 different colours and nuances, which can be matched freely with 8 different hardware colours to either create a perfect colour match or a beautiful combination of nuances. Our 25 mm slats all contain minimum 97% recycled aluminium, while our 35 mm slats are currently made from conventional aluminium.
TWO TYPES OF BRACKETS
When you order a ZENITH™ venetian blind, you can choose between two types of brackets. A hidden ‘click’ bracket or a stronger ‘twist’ bracket, which is able to carry heavier blinds and is ideal for mounting on e.g. doors that open and close.
