Pirouette® Shades in the Living Room

Pirouette® Window Shades by Hunter Douglas in Singapore

Pirouette® window shades combine the clarity of a horizontal sheer with the precision of a fabric-vane system. Soft horizontal vanes are attached to a single sheer backing, giving you cleaner view-through and a more contemporary appearance when the vanes are tilted open. The patented Invisi-Lift™ system suspends the vanes with near-invisible cords, so they appear to float in the window. Pirouette® is the right choice for modern Singapore interiors where you want versatile light control without visible hardware.

Bringing decades of experience since 1984, Fabrik Etc introduces Hunter Douglas Pirouette® shades to homes across Singapore with a fully tailored approach — from precise on-site measurement to seamless installation

Multiple Functions in One Product

Pirouette® offers three distinct positions for any room:

  • Vanes fully open – a clear view-through, with the sheer backing softening glare.
  • Vanes contoured – the signature curved look that filters light gently.
  • Vanes flattened – a smooth, shade-like finish for maximum privacy and light reduction.

The entire shade retracts fully into the fabric-covered headrail when not in use, leaving your window completely unobstructed.

Pirouette® shades with A Deux™ system

Light Control with the Invisi-Lift™ System

Pirouette® uses Hunter Douglas’ patented Invisi-Lift™ system: the vanes are suspended by fine cords that are almost invisible and do not disrupt the fabric facade. This gives Pirouette® its signature ‘floating’ appearance and allows up to 99% UV blockage when closed, 81% when open.

Vane sizes available:

  • 4-inch Petite – tighter vane spacing, suited to standard windows.
  • 5-inch Grande – wider vane spacing for dramatic view-through, ideal for large picture windows.

Certain fabrics are only available in one vane size. Our consultant will confirm what works for your specific window.

Room Darkening with Pirouette® A Deux™

Standard Pirouette® shades are available in semi-opaque and room-darkening vane fabrics, but even the room-darkening option is not 100% blackout. Introduced in 2025, Pirouette® A Deux™ is a dual-shade solution that adds an independently operated room-darkening liner behind the Pirouette® sheer – all within a single headrail, controlled via PowerView® automation. This gives the Pirouette® shades an elegant daytime appearance with true darkness when needed. Pirouette® A Deux™ is available in light-filtering fabrics up to 96 inches wide by 96 inches tall.

Enhanced View-Through with ClearView®

Pirouette® ClearView® uses a specialised sheer fabric that maximises visibility of the external environment while still providing UV protection. If the view is what you care about most – a sea view, a park view, or an architectural feature – ClearView® gets you closer to an unobstructed experience.

Pirouette® shades start from $826 per window (based on 610mm W x 914mm H). Pricing depends on vane size (4″ Petite or 5″ Grande), fabric, window dimensions, and operating system.

Standard Pirouette® blocks up to 99% of UV rays when fully closed, but is not 100% blackout. For true blackout, we recommend Pirouette® A Deux™, which adds an independently operated room-darkening liner behind the Pirouette®. Alternatively, pair Pirouette® with a curtain, or consider Duette® with LightLock® for the bedroom.

Yes. Pirouette® fabrics are designed for durability and have been used in Singapore homes for many years. Regular light dusting is the main maintenance required.
