Folding ‘Screen 100’ designed by Alvar Aalto for Artek
Finland, 1936
Pine.The folding "Screen 100," designed by Alvar Aalto for Artek in 1936, is a sculptural room divider crafted from individual slats of pine. This particular example is a rarer, longer version, showcasing the warm honey tones and natural grain of the wood, which enhance its visual appeal.
Aalto’s design reflects his affinity for clean, flowing curves, a signature feature in much of his work. The flexible structure allows for various configurations, making it both functional and decorative. Often celebrated as “the modern master of the curve,” Aalto seamlessly incorporated sinuosity into his architecture and furniture, creating timeless pieces like the "Screen 100" that continue to resonate with modern aesthetics.
