Room Dividers
From the lacquer-painted panels of Han Dynasty China to the hand-tapestried dividers of 17th-century European salons, folding screens — or room dividers — have long united function and artistry. Conceived as freestanding partitions in imperial China, they evolved through the Tang and Song dynasties as painted and lacquered canvases, journeyed to Japan as byōbu, and later inspired Europe’s fascination with Coromandel lacquer. Today, they retain their dual role as architectural element and decorative object, introducing rhythm, privacy, and compositional clarity to exceptional interiors. Our curated collection presents contemporary, one-of-a-kind designs from prolific European designers and heritage ateliers, crafted in materials of presence and provenance — from solid Canaletto walnut to hand-woven saddle leather — to shape space with quiet luxury, material excellence, and enduring elegance.
