Contemporary Collection
Congo
Materials: Sapele mahogany and stainless steel
The Congo is designed not just to create a sense of depth, thanks to square groove construction, but to offer maximum flexibility to those with opposing priorities—reflecting the outside world or offering a gaze at what lies beneath. The stacked slats of Sapele mahogany can be alternated with either stainless steel panels polished to a mirror shine, or any of a variety of glass options. The Congo garage door exemplifies Southern California coastal contemporary architecture, such as that found on the beaches of San Diego and La Jolla.
