A vintage french tambour room divider in warm pine, designed by jomain baumann for baumann and produced in france during the 1930s. The piece features flexible vertical wooden slats, an undulating folding form, softly curved top and bottom edges, visible metal hinges, and a refined art deco design language, making it a strong fit for vintage, modernist, art deco, wabi-sabi, and collected interiors.
with its generous width, sculptural wave-like silhouette, vertical rhythm, and warm honey-toned pine, this room divider has a quiet architectural presence. The narrow slatted construction gives the surface depth and movement, while the soft curves and aged patina bring warmth, texture, and an understated elegance. When opened, the screen creates a beautiful flowing form; when closed, it becomes a compact cylindrical object with a strong sculptural quality.
jomain baumann is best known for his french tambour room dividers, often made from narrow wooden slats connected in a flexible construction that allows the screen to curve, fold, and stand freely. These designs are associated with early 20th-century french art deco and modernist interiors, combining practical function with a highly decorative architectural form.
