1. A covering for an architectural opening comprising:
a panel including:
a front sheet;a rear sheet; and a plurality of cells, each cell of the plurality of cells coupled to the front sheet by a first connecting component and coupled to the rear sheet by a second connecting component, wherein each cell is defined by a top vane and a bottom vane comprising an at least partially rigid or resilient material maintaining a first bend point in one of the top or bottom vanes, the bend point being spaced apart from the first connecting component and the second connecting component, wherein: each cell of the plurality of cells is spaced apart from one another by a gap forming a plurality of gaps allowing light to be transmitted uninterrupted through each gap from one of the front sheet and the rear sheet to the other of the front sheet and the rear sheet; when the front sheet is at a first position relative to the rear sheet the plurality of cells are open and when the front sheet is at a second position relative to the rear sheet the plurality of cells are at least partially collapsed; each well is formed separately from the front sheet and the rear sheet; and the plurality of cells extend lengthwise across a width of the front and rear sheets.
