Room Divider is a fusion of lightweight materials and simple engineering. Its delicate frame, supported by a tension system reminiscent of the sleek lines of a yacht's sail, ensures stability with a subtle elegance. A neat roman screw, subtly shaped like an arrow, allows opposing forces to work in harmony, stretching the divider and contributing to its overall stability, ensuring a balanced and sturdy structure. Adding a touch of intrigue, discreet round windows offer glimpses into the surroundings while maintaining privacy. These windows also allow for an interesting interplay of light within the space, creating enchanting visual effects that subtly enliven the room with a sense of airiness and openness. Adaptable and versatile, the Room Divider allows for the adjustment of modules to fulfil various spatial needs.
