The sliding privacy shade for
co-living spaces.
The cost of living in big cities is rising.
More people are choosing to find roommates and share bedrooms to afford living in big cities.
These spaces are often very small and cramped so it can be hard to have some personal space even in areas that are traditionally more private like the bedroom.
Living in tight spaces can be hard.
Shared rooms are usually rented, and it can be difficult to subdivide the space without damaging it. It’s also really hard to do in a way that is comfortable and functional.
Floor space is a real premium in shared rooms. Natural light and airflow are also important to keep unobstructed to make the space feel more spacious.
Movement
Modularity is the of the most important things to consider for shared spaces, especially in the bedroom because it is a multi-action space in a shared home.
Unlike traditional homes, the bedroom in shared homes is one of the only personal and quiet spaces you have access to. This means it is used as an office and sleeping space, as well as for entertaining. It is vital to have products that are flexible and can accommodate the needs of the user.

Sound Dampening
Felt
This is an excellent sound dampening material because it is made up of compressed fibers that vibrate when sound passes through, therefor absorbing it.
Wooden Slats
Slatted wood enhances the porous nature of the material and improves its sound-absorbing qualities, effectively dampening a wide range of sounds.
Rail system
The shade is designed to be easily moved around the perimeter of the bed, depending on the level of privacy the user needs. Using a set of rails that are mounted onto the bed frame, the shade can be easily pushed and pulled around the track, transforming the space from open to private with one simple motion.
