Forest DS Design System: a shaped track with the brackets hidden
DS track by Forest, with 2026 retail prices, sizes, finishes and specifications.
What is the Forest DS Design System?
The Forest DS Design System is a shaped aluminum curtain track, 15/16 by 7/16 inch, whose brackets sit hidden behind the profile. It carries 3 lb per foot and suits sheers and light drapery where the track stays in view. A 6 ft Forest DS track (white) costs $274.47; a 12 ft one costs $409.83. A 6 ft Forest DS track (graphite) costs $301.90; a 12 ft one costs $450.76.
DS is chosen for how it looks as much as for what it carries. The front of the profile is shaped, the Smart Klick brackets are behind it, and it comes in white or graphite. It bends and curves from an exact template, takes ripplefold, pinch pleat and accordiafold carriers, and draws by hand or with a baton.

Where the Forest DS track fits
In modern Miami condos with exposed tracks, DS is the profile we show when the client dislikes the look of a square track but does not want a rod. Graphite reads well against dark window frames. For heavier panels the same look scales up to DSXL.
