Large partition wall, Manufrance, Saint Etienne, 2.5 m, 1940s

These room dividers were used in cafes and shops to separate spaces. The room divider has pine slats that are held together by an invisible metal wire. This makes it possible to place this screen in a wavy shape. By using slats of different lengths, the top is provided with a wavy shape. It can also be rolled up completely for storage. In a few places, the slats can only be bent in one direction due to the tight cable (hardly noticeable). Height: 180 cm. Width: 250 cm. Depth: 2cm. Ø rolled up: 30 cm. Origin: France, 1940s. Material: pine.
