03 Dec Soft Collection: tambour doors that enhance every space
A line of tambour doors can change the character of an entire space. With Soft Collection, designed by Gio Tirotto for FBSprofilati, the iconic aluminium tambour door becomes a distinctive furnishing element, bringing a modern and sophisticated aesthetic. It is the meeting between innovation, technology and sustainability that turns functionality into design – in the kitchen and in every other area of the home, office, retail spaces, and even in vehicles such as caravans and trains.
Aluminium and FENIX NTM®: bold aesthetics with a soft feel
The exclusive combination of aluminium and FENIX NTM® is what defines this dynamic collection, pairing aluminium slats with FENIX NTM® inserts. This dialogue between materials adds tactile depth and an unexpected graphic presence. The result? A strong design language that can interact with both minimal furnishings and more textured interiors.
FENIX NTM®: what it is and why choose it
FENIX NTM® is an advanced laminate made from acrylic resins and wood fibres. Its surface is:
- Matt and silky to the touch, for an immediately recognisable soft-touch effect.
- Resistant to scratches and abrasion, designed for everyday use.
- Easy to clean and anti-fingerprint, keeping surfaces looking immaculate.
- Non-porous and suitable for contact with food, making it ideal for kitchens.
- Lightfast and resistant to common household chemicals.
Thanks to Nanotech Matt technology, FENIX NTM® delivers consistent performance in applications ranging from worktops and cladding to fronts and furniture components. In Soft Collection, this quality translates into a premium user experience, day after day.
Soft Collection: the aluminium and FENIX NTM® tambour door line for interior design
We chose to integrate FENIX NTM® into our aluminium tambour doors to offer an even more refined and coordinated solution: the FENIX NTM® insert makes it possible to perfectly match the tambour door with the cabinet’s cladding, ensuring visual continuity and a solution fully aligned with the project’s design language.
The slats of Soft Collection broaden the aesthetic range of the Aluroll line and are available for all tambour door models, allowing you to take full advantage of all the technical benefits of the category:
- Vertical, horizontal and motorised sliding.
- Made-to-measure kits supplied in easy-to-install cassettes, with preloaded counterbalance.
- Closure of furniture openings up to 4 m², offering maximum design freedom in residential, commercial and contract projects.
Where do they work best? Wherever order, material continuity and zero door projection are required. Like all Aluroll aluminium tambour doors, Soft Collection is ideal in kitchens to close off niches or conceal appliances; in bathrooms, laundry rooms and utility spaces to hide technical compartments; and in offices and home open spaces to screen off the workstation with a single smooth gesture.
The smooth action of the tambour doors frees up the front, eliminates the clearance needed for hinged doors and delivers formal cleanliness and ergonomic comfort.
Soft Collection: elegant, space-saving, custom tambour doors
From deep matt black to more vibrant shades (Rosso Askja, Azzurro Naxos, Giallo Kashmir, Verde Brac), Soft Collection allows for fully customised colour compositions: aluminium interacts with FENIX NTM® to create carefully balanced contrasts or tone-on-tone harmonies. The matt finish, soft touch and graphic precision make the collection easy to integrate into existing furnishings or new projects.
Already chosen by international brands and partners for interior design projects, Soft Collection has established itself as a distinctive, highly appreciated solution.
Cucine Lube, the second-largest Italian manufacturer of modular kitchens and the first in terms of productivity, uses our Soft Collection systems in several pieces, such as “Slicer”, a fully equipped niche with tambour door, and “Roll”, an elegant freestanding cabinet with tambour door.

Sustainability and design: aluminium as a green design material
Aluminium – the key player in both Soft Collection and Aluminium Collection – is a naturally recyclable material, and at FBSprofilati we enhance its potential with a carefully controlled production process: cold roll-forming makes it possible to shape aluminium at room temperature, with a reduced environmental impact compared to more energy-intensive processes.
Entirely Made in Italy, FBSprofilati tambour doors combine the precision of industrial quality with the artisanal care of fine detailing, resulting in a reliable, elegant and long-lasting product.
Aluroll tambour doors are more than just a component to be fitted into furniture: they are a complete interior design solution, with a strong focus on environmental responsibility and a clean, refined aesthetic in any context.
The advantages of tambour doors for furniture
- Distinctive design: aluminium + FENIX NTM® for a contemporary, tactile aesthetic.
- Real performance: resistance, easy cleaning, anti-fingerprint, food-safe.
- Total versatility: smooth, made-to-measure sliding – vertical, horizontal or motorised – up to 4 m².
- Simplified installation: pre-assembled kits ready to fit, with preloaded counterbalance.
- Sustainability by nature: from aluminium as a raw material to cold roll-forming as a production process.
- Wide range of finishes and combinable colours, from soft tones to bold contrasts.
In particular, the pop, vibrant palette of Soft Collection invites experimentation: contrasting colours to create strong accents, or more uniform combinations for an elegant, cohesive look in kitchens, living areas and fully equipped niches.
If you are looking for a creative, versatile, space-saving system, Soft Collection is the right solution, combining aesthetics, order and functionality in a single concept.
