Offer / wardrobes, dressing rooms and bespoke furniture
A wardrobe and dressing room with switchable smart glass.
Switchable glass can form a wardrobe front, sliding dressing-room enclosure, fixed display or dressing-room partition. Clear displays the interior; frosted creates a calm surface and screens the view. Every front is engineered with the furniture, hardware, lighting and cable route.

Application context
A switchable front is a joint glass and furniture design.
A wardrobe with switchable glass is not a catalogue appliance. It can be a fixed display, hinged door, sliding front or screen before an open dressing room. Each route carries weight, wiring and access differently, so joiner, hardware supplier, electrician and DGF must work from one detail.
DGF Classic switches the complete front. DGF Segment can retain a clear shelf, display band or independent zones when defined before manufacture. DGF Colour offers a more material expression, while colour, internal lighting and reflections need sample approval.
The simplest installation is a fixed or hinged element with an engineered connection. A sliding front is possible but requires controlled cable movement, stops and service access like an architectural sliding door. Furniture lighting should remain a separately coordinated circuit.
From function to detail
Six decisions for a wardrobe or dressing room.
These decisions cannot safely wait until installation. Each affects manufacture and use.
What should remain visible?
The complete collection, one shelf, a lit object or only a silhouette? The answer determines Classic, Segment or neutral glazing in part of the enclosure.
How does lighting work?
Internal lighting affects reflections, haze and visibility in both states. It is designed as a separate function rather than a promise of perfect transparency.
Where are handles and hardware?
Holes, cut-outs and pressure zones must be approved before lamination. Finished panes are not processed on site.
Where is power concealed?
Cable, power supply and controller can remain hidden when the joiner provides protected routes and accessible panels.
How is the front controlled?
A switch beside the wardrobe is most direct. A remote, app or light–display–privacy scene can be added while retaining simple local operation.
Delivery process
From furniture concept to commissioned front.
- 01
Function and form
We define what is displayed, how the front opens and the intended effect in both states.
- 02
Joint detail
DGF and the furniture maker coordinate size, support, hardware, processing, wiring, access and tolerances.
- 03
Sample and light
We assess clear and frosted appearance, reflections and colour under the intended internal lighting.
- 04
Installation and movement test
After installation we check hardware, front positions, cable, both states, controls and service access.
Important before deciding
What to avoid with switchable fronts.
Furniture is frequently touched, adjusted and cleaned, so detailing must be as practical as the visual effect.
- Do not order glass before selecting hardware and confirming dimensions and handles.
- Do not route wiring through hinges, rollers or moving fittings without proper protection.
- Do not assume a perfectly neutral view; PDLC retains characteristic haze and reflections.
- Do not seal the power supply behind fixed furniture backs without access and safe isolation.

FAQ
Common questions about this application.
Can a wardrobe use switchable glass?
Yes, as an individually engineered front, fixed display or dressing-room screen. Feasibility is confirmed after reviewing dimensions, hardware, support and services.
Can the front slide?
Yes, when the system carries the laminated pane and provides protected controlled connection movement. This requires detailing similar to a switchable sliding door.
Can the front have independent zones?
Yes, with DGF Segment to a project-confirmed scope. Zoning must be defined before manufacture and align with shelves and furniture lines.
Does a frosted front completely conceal contents?
It obscures recognisable images, but strong lighting at close distance may reveal shapes. The effect is assessed with the intended light.
Who makes the furniture?
Scope is agreed individually. DGF engineers the active pane and services while coordinating the furniture detail with the selected maker or agreed delivery scope.
