“We will continue to press all the boundaries in frameless door engineering as we leave our subtle marks on the architecture of this century.” – Richard Keith Gelles
Insensation was founded in Switzerland with the explicit principle to promote minimalism in architecture. Having worked with some of the most impressive European architects and engineers of this generation, I have been developing property and designing products since 1997. My unique background in design, construction, law and finance have culminated in world-class products used by minimalist architects in 16 countries. In previous careers, I owned both an architecture practice and a general contracting business, which developed exclusive properties in Basel and London. After implementing the very first frameless doors in Switzerland in 2002, my journey led me to product development and being an expert in frameless technologies.
Insensation products receive accolades from industrial designers, engineers and architects alike, all people who study and appreciate the intricate details of design and functionality. Where most frameless products fail at durability, customization and ease of installation, Insensation’s frameless doors remain technologically far ahead of all others. This is accomplished by a network of European family-owned businesses like Insensation, which guarantee best-in-class engineering, components and high-tech manufacturing never seen in this industry.
We’re proud to support your architectural vision with doors that combine design integrity and lasting performance. Thank you for specifying our products in your work.
