The client visited our San Francisco showroom and immediately witnessed the outstanding quality and features of Insensation Frameless Doors.  The order was delivered 8 weeks later, and the contractor, who had never installed frameless doors before, excelled in using our pre-assembled doors to achieve amazing results.

Kudos to the contractor and architect for planning and implementing the gorgeous museum finish base.

Insensation is pleased to announce the start of our 30th year in business.

Insensation, the frameless and armored door company known for its minimalist XXL doors, was founded by Richard Gelles, who envisioned the brand and leads its growth. In 30 years, we expanded from our original location in Basel, Switzerland to serve clients in 14 countries in Europe and across the USA with 7 unique showrooms for contractors and architects.

For 30 years, we have developed minimalist products and introduced world-class architects to a wide range of frameless technologies which have subtly altered the course of interior design in everything from tiny woodland homes to massive luxury towers.

For 30 years, we have enjoyed every minute working with exceptional architects, contractors, designers and our own group of engineers and product gurus who have pushed the boundaries of wood, metal and mechanics in door design.

Throughout 2026, we will be releasing new products, new locations and announcing major projects that we have been preparing.

A huge thank you to our families, friends, clients, collaborators, architects, contractors, suppliers, engineers, logistic providers and all who have made our original slogan CREATE A SENSATION a reality in thousands of homes.

Insensation has the honor of working with Hawk + Co and their award-winning designer, Summer Jensen, on a few projects in Southern California this year. Jensen’s work impressed us at first glance with her detailed planning and design and synergy with our own appreciation of luxe minimalism. Thoughtful sustainable materials, white oak floors, polished plaster, dark bronze, ultra modern amenities – are all apparent in her impressive works of art.

Many companies in the USA market their products as ‘European’ or even ‘Italian’ design. This is a pure marketing gimmick and has nothing to do with the design, quality or engineering of a product.

An excellent product will have either a CE or an UL rating. Both mean the product meets safety and quality standards. Insensation products are certified CE, Conformity European.

A product which has a CE Marking means is was manufactured in Europe using European quality standards:

1. The product complies with all relevant product directives and regulations in the European Union
2. The product conforms to all of the applicable health, safety, and environmental laws
3. The product is legally compliant enough to sell everywhere in the European Union

Countries That Require CE Marking

CE Marking is required for relevant products sold in all member countries of the European Union (EU) as well as the non-EU EEA countries. Though not part of the EU or EEA, Switzerland and Turkey have adopted certain regulations and directives. A product claiming to have some European or country specific design, is only relevant if it has a certified CE label.

With 100% EU-conformant, certified components and materials, no other company comes near our quality.
