The tambour construction allows the screen to bend in a continuous curve, shifting between openness and enclosure with a fluid, almost kinetic presence, its form feeling inherently modular.

Crafted in warm-toned pine, the wood carries the soft patina of age, its grain amplified by the repetition of finely spaced ribs.

The curvature is deliberate but unforced, suggesting adaptability rather than fixed geometry.

Condition: Great vintage condition, with surface wear consistent with age and use, including scuffs and scratches. See less
