Room Dividers, 2020

Always ahead of the curve—though in this case we are all working to flatten it—the inventive Netherlands-based design collective, founded and led by Wendy Plomp, has created a system of room dividers that as we think about delineating space in work, waiting, and domestic areas, will play an important role to insure social distancing. With choices in shape, color, finish, and material, these movable panels recall the sleek sculptures made by California light artists—Larry Bell, Robert Irwin, Doug Wheeler, Craig Kauffman, for example.
