The Salice Exedra2 is a refined evolution of Salice’s Exedra pocket-door family, designed to make large openings seamlessly disappear into furniture while delivering smooth, quiet operation.
It’s a patented, bi-fold double-pocket mechanism that enables two linked door panels to move simultaneously, folding and sliding into a single cavity. The result: wide, clear openings with no floor track and a sleek, built-in appearance.
Key features
- Patented cam-assisted extraction and insertion with magnetically assisted motion control: Exedra2 uses a cam-carriage and magnetically assisted dampers, so doors are gently pulled out and guided back in with a controlled, balanced motion rather than an abrupt snap. This gives smooth opening, soft-close insertion and consistent performance over time.
- Two versions — “Star” and “Smart”: the Star version hides folded panels behind a cover panel so the pocket is completely concealed; the Smart version requires less cabinet depth and allows the folded edges to remain slightly visible — useful when shallow carcasses are needed.
- One-hand operation and integrated handle options: the motion control supports one-hand opening/closing and allows handle placement on the door edges (or recessed pulls), making the system user-friendly and minimal in appearance.
- No load-bearing bottom profiles: the system is designed without intrusive bottom tracks in many configurations, improving aesthetics and cleaning while reducing trip hazards.
- Robust technical range: Exedra2 supports practical door dimensions and weights appropriate for cabinetry and interior applications (examples: typical door thicknesses start around 18–19 mm, door heights commonly range from ~1,800 mm up to ~3,000 mm in many specs, and per-door rated loads are commonly specified in the 25–40 kg range depending on configuration). Always confirm the exact limits for your chosen model and configuration.
Benefits
- Space optimisation: by folding two doors into one pocket, you gain the width of a double opening while keeping adjacent floor and wall space clear — ideal for kitchens, wardrobes, larders, home offices and concealed storage. The system makes previously awkward openings feel seamless.
- Premium, quiet operation: linear damping, magnetic assistance and cam control produce a soft, whisper-quiet action and a controlled insertion that reduces wear on door edges and carcass components — increasing longevity and perceived quality.
- Clean, refined aesthetics: no visible bottom track and the choice between fully concealed (Star) or shallow-pocket (Smart) installations lets designers balance flush built-in looks with construction constraints. Recessed handles and edge-mounted pulls keep visual lines minimal.
- Ergonomics and accessibility: effortless one-hand opening and smooth motion make Exedra2 easy to use for people of all ages; the motion control helps prevent doors from slamming or being left partially open.
- Flexibility for many applications: the system is modular and configurable — it can be specified as single units, pairs (to create larger spans), and matched with various hinge and damper accessories, so it adapts to kitchens, living furniture and specialist joinery.
Custom Fit, Perfect Function
Exedra2 is a made-to-order system. Carefully measure the door height, width, and available carcass depth, then choose the Star or Smart variant to match your aesthetic and depth requirements. Be sure to check the load and size limits for your selected configuration so hinges, cams, and carriages are correctly sized.
Installation is typically carried out by experienced joiners or installers familiar with pocket-door systems, using Salice’s supplied templates and cut-to-length mechanism kits.
Salice Exedra2 delivers a high-quality, engineered solution for hiding multiple door panels in a single pocket while preserving effortless, quiet operation and sleek furniture aesthetics — a smart choice when you want large accessible openings without the clutter of visible sliding tracks or bulky folding hardware.
The ultimate double pocket door system that blends sleek Italian engineering with effortless motion. Maximise space, elevate style, and enjoy whisper-smooth performance in every opening and closing.
