Screen 100
Alvar Aalto designed the Screen 100 in the mid-twentieth century as a study in material economy and spatial intelligence. Thin vertical strips of natural pine are laced together with cotton cord, allowing the screen to flex into gentle curves or taut straight lines at the hand of whoever arranges it.
The pine itself is the design. Its grain, warmth, and slight variation from strip to strip give the object a living quality that painted or lacquered surfaces rarely achieve. Aalto understood wood not as a raw material to be tamed but as a collaborator, and the Screen 100 is among his clearest statements of that sensibility.
- Constructed from vertical natural pine strips joined by cotton lacing
- Folds into straight runs or sinuous curves without tools or hardware
- Filters light and defines zones while preserving visual continuity
- Produced by Artek in Finland, the studio Aalto co-founded in 1935
As a room divider, it is less a wall than a suggestion, one that shifts with the needs of a space and rewards rearrangement.
