Space dividers I can’t stop thinking of
The chicest way of dividing your space without make it feel cramped? Without a doubt, screens. These are a few of my current favourites that make a definite impact and will elevate your interior.
Although they might seem rather old-fashioned at first glance, screens are versatile, bring character to an otherwise plain space. and many designers have had a hand at bringing a new lens to these space dividers. An eternal favourite is certainly Dalì’s whimsical and detailed interpretation.

Ebur Editions - Vague Screen
The Vagues screen is inspired by traditional Asian lacquered wood screens.
The ripples and the irregularities of the light reflecting on the lacquered surface recalls the reflection of the sun on a rough sea. The colour contrast between the front and the edges of the screen brings a subtle, elegant detail.
2. Giacometti - Paravent Les animaux Rois
Diego Giacometti has, according to our knowledge, produced five screens.
For a Parisian apartment, the artist created and delivered a staircase, coffee tables, chairs, door handles and a set of four screens including this piece.
The four screens replaced the balustrades overlooking the drawing-room and were placed next to each other, thus concealing the night quarters on the first floor.
From the living room one could simply look up to see a succession of animals and leaves running everywhere.
3. Carlo Scarpa - Black Lacquered Wood Screen
Glossy black polyester lacquered screen by Carlo Scarpa from the 1970s. The screen is divided into 8 doors 40cm wide and is lacquered equally on both sides. It features black finish details, the feet are steel and are very small in size so that the doors remain as slender as possible.
