Conogó Partition Screen in Hardwood, Brazilian Contemporary Design

The constructive and aesthetic inspiration for this room divider is a mix of references that goes from several fields, from universal cultural roots to contemporary art.

In one hand, Conogó partition screen’s constructive form and its use of simple materials references the work of indigenous ancestors and their connection with nature. On the other hand, its play with optical illusion, rhythm and movement creates dialogue with contemporary kinetic art.

The screen partition consists of two parts which together creates waves. Each angle reveals a different rhythm, building an optical illusion of movement and transformation.
