Monowa's MonoClear Frameless Glass System has been used as part of the TNT Sports broadcasting pavilion at the French Open, providing a bespoke solution that allowed glazed panels to be repositioned between broadcasts.
The broadcasting pavilion was designed and built by Scott Fleary Productions, with Monowa supplying the technology behind the movable frameless glass panels.
With the studio being used for outdoor filming throughout the tournament, the project required a flexible system that could be adapted to changing broadcasting conditions while integrating neatly with the pavilion structure.
Bespoke Frameless Glass Solution for the Broadcasting Pavilion
Rather than using a standard configuration, Monowa developed a custom track layout and specialised roller set-up specifically for the project.
The MonoClear system was engineered to interface with the truss structure created by Scott Fleary Productions, allowing the glazed panels to form an integrated part of the overall pavilion design.
This bespoke approach provided the production team with the flexibility required for a high-profile temporary broadcasting environment.
Glazed Panels Designed for Operational Flexibility
An important requirement was the ability to reposition the glass panels easily during the French Open.
The MonoClear system enabled crew members to glide the glazed panels between broadcasts, allowing the pavilion configuration to be changed according to requirements.
This helped the broadcasting studio respond to changing weather and lighting conditions during the tournament without compromising the clean, contemporary appearance of the pavilion.
MonoClear Frameless Glass System
Monowa's MonoClear system provides movable frameless glass panels for applications where flexible space division is required while retaining visibility and an open appearance.
For the French Open project, the system's adaptability was combined with bespoke engineering to accommodate the specific requirements of the TNT Sports pavilion.
The installation demonstrates how movable glass systems can be incorporated into specialist structures beyond more conventional office, hospitality and commercial partitioning applications.
Collaboration with Scott Fleary Productions
Monowa credited Scott Fleary Productions for the design and construction of the broadcasting pavilion and for selecting the MonoClear system for the project.
Working together, the teams developed a solution that combined Scott Fleary Productions' pavilion design with Monowa's track and roller technology.
The result allowed the glazed sections to be repositioned as required throughout the tournament, providing the broadcasting team with a flexible environment for outdoor filming.
For Monowa, seeing its MonoClear Frameless Glass System used behind the scenes at one of international tennis's biggest events provided an opportunity to demonstrate the versatility of its movable glass technology in a demanding event and broadcast setting.
