The New Old Divider interprets the introversion of the East and the extroversion of the West through its design, having them coexist in perfect harmony by combining the “fan” and the “divider” in a new manifestation. When the fan is folded, it creates a minimal and suggestive division, while the presence is as invisible as a picture frame. When the fans are expanded, it becomes a classic oriental divider, adding notalgic yet modern charm to the space.
The New Old
Divider
Our living environments are full of variables, requiring our objects to be versatile in terms of function, visually coherent across diverse settings, and able to affect the atmosphere of spatial environments. The paper fan incorporates transformative functions, allowing it to exist both minimally and decoratively. By varying its convertible features, the screen is able to create different spatial experiences.
The New Old Divider wanders around minimal and decorative aesthetics, offering the space with endless new possibilities, all at the owners’ fingertips.
Hollow frames and fabric fans bring this divider from its classical Oriental references to the contemporary environment. The decorative semi-circles are optionally fanned out, providing possibilities between representational or physical spatial division. The New Old Divider is a simple intervention that introduces the element of ornamentation.
