Organising ideas for the bathroom
by Pia Seidel

A folding screen can act as a partition and a privacy screen. But it's more than just a piece of functional furniture. The more unusual its design, the more it resembles a sculpture.
Nowadays, because screens have to be suitable for indoor use, they can be found in increasingly unusual shapes, in a variety of materials such as perforated sheeting, paper, leather or even rattan, for a semi-transparent yet light effect.
Pragmatists will be delighted to learn that there are space-saving two- or three-in-one models: privacy screen, mirror and wardrobe. The advantage of a model with a mirror? It gives rooms a feeling of space. This same effect can be achieved with the trellis.
The more ornate or special a screen is, the more it stands out. Treat it like a work of art in its own right by giving it a place that will sublimate it, especially with a model like "Pano" by Umbra, whose panels allow you to insert photos.
Like a cheerleader, I love celebrating good design and bringing you closer to everything furniture- and interior design- related. I regularly curate simple yet sophisticated interior ideas, report on trends and interview creative minds about their work.
In the age of the open space, whether private or public, the paravent is making a comeback. In the past, it was used outside as protection against the wind. Today, they are used mainly as movable partitions in interiors. The advantages of a folding screen are that it reduces noise in open-plan offices, hides cables and improves lighting conditions. In the home, a folding screen enhances a room, whatever its function.
