Traditional screens have expanded its functions and its diversity, in addition to being made in multiple finishes and materials. Among them, metallic models are becoming increasingly important because they easily adapt to any type of contemporary decoration: Retro, minimalist, eastern, industrial ...; they allow you to play with light and in many cases it is possible to use them outdoors, such as wrought iron or stainless steel. Let's see some examples in different formats:
With a classic folding panel design, the Rigo: Riparo by Lamberty design is made of 4 stainless steel sheets with mirror finish, which reflects the light and expands it throughout the room, increasing the curiosity of what is hidden behind due to its opacity. If you are changing your clothes behind the screen you no longer need to look for a mirror to see the result ...
The American company Vital Screen NYC, specialized in space dividers, has combined the 50s style with art deco to propose Andra, a refined screen «jewel» juxtaposing laser-cut steel and hand-blown glass in a very lightweight structure, where glass bubbles play with light creating mysterious visual effects.
Another alternative is the hanging screens, which can be custom-ordered and serve not only as a room divider but also as a curtain, a canopy for the bedroom or simply as a decorative sculpture. The Caino design company has several models of powder painted stainless steel that play with our perception because they appear to be made of plastic or lace; intricately designed, they are vaporous and highly sophisticated.
If we intend to change the position of the screen depending on our needs, the best option is to opt for a model with wheels, such as those designed by Susan Woods' studio for the firm Aswoon: Both in their residential version with steel wires (more imaginative), and in perforated aluminum for the office, they help to filter light and energize spaces.
