Horizon is a real specialty among gloss textiles. Its block stripe design offers partial sight and light protection. The wide stripes create a reflective metallic look that is interrupted by narrower dark stripes. The dark stripes are semi-transparent, while the light, metallic stripes are opaque.

The partial stripe pattern in combination with a metallic look can only be achieved through the special use of warp knitting technology. This surpasses the conventional production of shiny textiles using metal vaporization, which can only produce continuous surfaces. In addition, the width of the stripes can be individually configured – tailored to customer needs.

This semi-transparent nature of the stripe pattern enables a particularly clever solution for shading or privacy protection. Using two layers of Horizon as a roller blind on top of each other, allows for switching between partial and complete protection, depending on how the light, opaque strips and the semi-transparent, dark ones are arranged over each other.

Finally, the surface can also be printed, which opens up further design and application possibilities – for example in interior design as a decorative element or in the automotive sector.

Horizon is part of Rökona SHINE – the collection of seven very different, unique and highly functional gloss textiles from Rökona. All of these textiles are characterized in particular by their sustainable character: They are completely free of metallic components, single-origin, and therefore 100% recyclable. Without compromising on their exclusive metal look.

As part of the RE:Space portfolio, the highly functional premium textiles set standards in terms of their properties and sustainability. This is thanks to Rökona's masterful expertise and special use of warp knitting technology. For this innovative and sustainable approach, RE:Space has already received several awards, including the German Design Award and the German Innovation Award.
