French term or phrase: ondulette
The text is about interior blinds. Some of them have slats in "format ondulette". I guess they must be kind of roundish, but I suppose there is a certain term in English for this. I also found the French syntagm "stores ondulette" so I assume the term is quite widely used in this context. Thanks a lot for your suggestions.

Ondulette-style (irregular slats)


Explanation:
Agreed this is a brand name, but it is a type of Venetian blind and supposedly a relatively new style using irregularly shaped slates. Comes in various models and structures.
