Custom Contemporary Mechitzas
The mechitza was originally designed for the Chabad of uptown in Houston Texas. The great success of this mechitza is the tilted glass on the top, which is angled slightly towards the ceiling. This allows for the one-way mirror to fully utilize the reflective properties on the men’s side and the transparent on the women’s side. The curved base that hides the wheels were a great success the project come together nicely. Bass Furniture custom designs and produces mechitzas in an array of styles and budgets. Please contact us for more information regarding custom order or for details about this design.

Custom projects are processed individually.

The renderings will help you, your committee, and donors actualize how the project will look in your space. It can also help greatly to raise additional funds and make your project a reality. We continue to revise the sketches according to your feedback until you are fully satisfied with the design and budget before we begin production.
