Permeability first, screen identity second.
Balanced openness keeps the panel bright enough for daylight while preserving a clear honeycomb read.
La Pente Gradient Screen Design. Architectural Metal Screen Pattern
As part of DSD’s Gradient Screen range, the La Pente Gradient Screen Design is currently the most popular design. This design has a contemporary but arty feel and is extremely versatile. It can be used in almost all settings with its combination of geometric shapes. These shapes gradually fade as the design progresses up the panel. This gradient design can be adjusted to allow for more privacy where needed whilst allowing light through at other points where privacy is not needed. The La Pente Gradient Screen Design is a trendy decorative screen choice that will liven up both a home and a business.

Visual Study
Pattern Detail Study
A motif that reads from both close range and elevation.
Unknown density gives Apiary enough structure for facade use without flattening the pattern into a solid mask.
Light shifts without losing pattern clarity.
Light filtering with a more open daylight feel.

Visual Reading
Light & Shadow Behavior
Front-Lit
Pattern surface reads first.
The honeycomb geometry stays legible from straight-on views before the voids take over the composition.
Angled View
Open cells gain depth at movement lines.
Oblique sightlines strengthen the panel edge and make the screen feel more dimensional in corridors and feature runs.
Backlit Presence
Shadow rhythm without full blackout.
Partial screening, not full concealment.
Use Cases
Application Scene Gallery
Facade Veil
Balanced / 5/10 shade
Screen the elevation while daylight stays active.
Use Apiary where facade screening should soften solar load without turning the envelope into a dense mask.
Lobby Divider
4/10 privacy / organic read
Hold space separation without closing the arrival zone.
Apiary works where the divider needs geometry and atmosphere, but not the heaviness of a closed partition wall.
Corridor Screen
directional movement / filtered sightlines
Guide circulation with a lighter visual edge.
The repeated cell rhythm gives long runs more texture while keeping corridors bright and visually open.
Feature Screen
9/10 biomimicry
Let the pattern act as the visual moment.
Use Apiary when the screen itself should carry the aesthetic story, rather than disappear into a neutral backdrop.
