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. 100-- ' 150 W ..- - - --- --- '' ( 128' 151 .l -- --' D1 ' -120' . - - '118'1 1271 -1 190-... - - '1 41 '- - - 3 1 11 -... 12 1... 117 127 120 34'1 - -- 175 117140 -140"1 iio--"" 1301 3 165 N 0 14 ' _140" 101 1331 124 /17 K 140v -140" 10310' 130v 10 < ' 140 " -16010 12 140" 12216 112 -162 161'
