Screens in the wind

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.

Safe values

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.
