Pandora
Cassette Awning
An award-winning outdoor awning featuring a compact cassette structure that completely hides the fabric and folding mechanism when closed, with embedded linear LED lighting integrated into the front profile.
Turn Shade into Art, Nights into Radiance
Pandora Cassette Awning was designed to offer a flawless outdoor shading solution for modern terraces, luxury residential gardens, hotels, and prestigious commercial spaces. The biggest engineering advantage of the system is the self-gasketed **fully enclosed compact cassette structure** that completely isolates the fabric roll and folding arms from external factors when the awning is closed.
Another pioneering feature that sets Pandora apart from its competitors is the **embedded linear LED lighting system** integrated into the front aluminum profile. Invisible from the outside, this special line provides perfect ambient lighting in your space in the evening with dimmer (light intensity adjustment) control.
The corrosion-resistant 6063 T6 aluminum alloy frame, produced to Qualicoat standards, is equipped with high-strength steel tension springs that dampen wind loads. Fully compatible with Somfy smart home automation, it has the ability to automatically close when wind speed increases.
✔ Pandora Advantages
- ✦ Fully Enclosed Cassette: 100% insulates the fabric from mud, dust, rain, and UV rays, doubling the fabric life.
- ✦ Integrated LED Lighting: Seamless, dim, and stylish illumination with the embedded linear Samsung LED line in the front profile.
- ✦ Maximum Width: Ability to achieve 650 cm width and 350 cm projection (extension) with a single-piece profile.

Pandora Touch to the Night Concept of a Bosphorus View Restaurant
Project Need: A luxury seafood restaurant located on the Bebek coastline in Istanbul was looking for a shading solution that would protect its customers from sun glare during daytime hours without spoiling the elegant ambiance of the restaurant in the evening. Additionally, durability against the strong winds of the Bosphorus was critical.
Real Solution: Following static façade analyses, our technical architectural team installed 3 combined, anthracite-cased Pandora Cassette Awnings with integrated linear LED lighting and wind sensors at the restaurant.
Result: While full daytime sun protection was provided, a wonderful dim ambient lighting against the Bosphorus was created in the evening thanks to the linear dimmable LEDs embedded in the front profile. When the wind speed exceeded the 38 km/h limit, Somfy smart sensors were activated, automatically retracting the awnings into the cassette body to protect the mechanism.
Frequently Asked Questions
Most curious technical and architectural details about Pandora Cassette Awning:
Can LED lighting be integrated into the Pandora cassette awning?
Yes. Integrated embedded linear LED lighting channels are located in the front aluminum profile of our Pandora model. In this way, there is no need for an extra lighting fixture in the evenings, creating a stylish dim atmosphere.
Does the cassette mechanism fully protect the fabric?
Absolutely. Pandora is a full cassette system. When the awning is closed, the fabric, motor, and folding arms are completely retracted inside the cassette body, providing 100% insulation from rain, dust, bird droppings, and the wearing UV rays of the sun.
