Covering for architectural features, and related systems, methods of operation, and manufacture

A covering (100) for an architectural feature having generally horizontal vane elements (130) extending between generally inner and outer vertical support members that can adjust and control the amount and quality of light transmitted through the covering is described. In one embodiment, the covering has elongate tapes (120) as vertical support members that have a width substantially less than the length of the vane elements (130), and adjacent inner and adjacent outer elongate tapes are separated by a distance. In one embodiment, the vane elements are multi-layered, cellular vanes. The elongated multilayered vanes may include elongate stiffeners (140) that may be associated with, coupled to, and or inserted within pockets formed in, the multilayered vanes. Also disclosed is a method of operation and manufacture. --- W --- --- 128' 151 -- - - ' D 110 -120' ..---118' 1271190 -...- - -134 11 --128 - 113' 8 127 -120 1341 130 -' - -175 117-, / 140 11 140"1 110 -, 131 0 33 1 6 5 N I - 1 0 '1 4 0 " 1 0 1 1 3 3 1 1 2 41 7 140v 140" 180 4 -030 102 < 40v X 140 11 112' _ 10313 ' 140 " 140'12 11 " 140 122 160 10 116- -162
