room partition  

Create a partition with practical secondary elements such as storage and a display area that also behaves as an addition to the theme of design in the graphic designer's office.

Reasearch showed to me that there was an abundance of partitions that separated a room with storage and a few display surfaces that were without storage but none with both. The one example that I did find was large and cumbersome.

I decided to create a product that was both practical and elegant, providing decent storage and a definite display area.

This partition was created to be located in the center of a large office and separate a working desk from a conference area. The main body consists of two sheets of stainless steel, curved in order to indicate and allow traffic flow either side of the partition. The stainless steel sheets are separated so the partition does not appear solid. In addition to this, the dark mahogony base creates the impression that the sheets are floating in their space.

The display area allows the designer to place an example of his work on show giving a positive and creative impression to clients as they are in his office. The display can be changed easily. Shelving and drawers allow a certain amount of storage in tne partition, making it useful as well as beautiful.
