About

Portes Sésame

Les portes Sésame inc. is a Québec company that designs, manufactures and markets contemporary interior doors based on high quality standards.

Our History

Why choose Sésame?

For its distinctive qualities…

Creative

SÉSAME can create doors that don’t yet exist! SÉSAME doors offer a unique new creative platform: an extruded aluminum frame into which panels of various types are inserted. This yields design solutions that are both esthetic and functional, varying according to the designer’s inspiration for a classic or bold look.

Environmentally friendly

In addition to aluminum, a 100% recyclable material, the use of materials such as reconstituted wood veneer, low-VOC-emission materials and non-toxic finishes add to the product’s “green” aspect. Also, panels can be changed later to rejuvenate a door’s appearance and to extend its useful lifespan. This is a major asset from an environmental standpoint.

Ability to evolve

SÉSAME doors can evolve over time. A simple panel replacement will update them. Interior decoration styles can thus be reinvented to keep up with new trends or a change in a room’s function. 

Innovative

Doors are a key element of the home but have been viewed primarily for their utilitarian function. SÉSAME doors serve not just to open and close off rooms but also to play an active role in personalizing spaces. SÉSAME is a new tool for designing contemporary interiors, with doors playing a major role in the arrangement of the elements that make up the environment.

Made to measure

Designing a unique door is made possible by the use of a wide choice of materials, finishes and colours (more than 2,000 hues). Also, the possibility of combining different panels on either side of the same door adds to the potential for creativity. Made to measure, SÉSAME doors are available in various functions: sliding, pocket, swinging, pivoting or folding.  In addition, fixed panels can be combined with our doors becoming a partition system, simple and versatile.

Our mission

To offer architects, interior designers, property developers, and consumers original and modern solutions for personalized interiors.

History

2009

placeholder

Industrial designer Charles Godbout and architect Luc Plante, each with a passion for living spaces, won the 2009 “Aluminum Innovates at Home” design competition with the SÉSAME creative door project.

placeholder

This competition, held by Alcoa Canada in collaboration with the Association des designers industriels du Québec and the Ministère du Développement économique, de l’Innovation et de l’Exportation du Québec, gave Québec creators the challenge of finding ways to stimulate the use of aluminium applications in innovative products.

placeholder

In the wake of their success, the two designers undertook initial development of the SÉSAME project with the support of Alcoa Innovation and the Centre québécois de recherche et de développement de l’aluminium (CQRDA).

placeholder

Attracted by the product’s undeniable potential, entrepreneurs Francine Couture and Serge Dupras, who made their mark in the furniture industry, founded the company Les portes SÉSAME in collaboration with the two creators.

SESAME opens a new avenue reinterpreting the very idea of interior doors. It turns doors into a key design element with great potential for harmonization with the interior surroundings.

The Monogone collection offers doors with a lacquered finish in the color of your choice. They are offered in sliding, swinging, pocket and pivoting functions. An attractive quality for the creators and amateurs of contemporary design, is the clean line of the swinging Monogone door, installed with a flush frame that becomes an integral part of the wall.

The Agile collection was created for commercial or residential use. It is available in different tempered glasses such as clear, tinted, lacquered and in swinging, sliding or fixed panel functions.
