The line they won't cross twice
Some boundaries protect without ever feeling like one.
Not every gate needs to look like a gate. Ours is designed to disappear when it's not needed - folded quietly into its housing, freeing the doorway, the stairwell, the space where feet and paws pass through all day. When it's time to close it again, it takes seconds. No tools, no marks left behind, no argument from the ones it's meant to hold back gently. Just a soft mesh barrier that does its job and then gets out of the way.
