Eames® Molded Plywood Folding Screen

Designed by Charles and Ray Eames
As Charles and Ray Eames saw it, designers just want to have "serious fun." This 68-inch-high, undulating screen resulted from their play. It's a portable, foldable, enjoyable way to divide space, provide a backdrop, and add privacy.

The screen was designed as a complement to other Eames molded plywood creations and features the same natural strength and signature style. It's also a stand-alone piece distinctive in all kinds of settings.

The Design:

• In an instance of serendipity, Charles Eames noted that the U-shaped cross-sections of plywood resulting from his early molding experiments were stable enough to stand alone. Make them longer, he thought, join them with a flexible connector, and fold them together neatly (for storage or shipment) or open them fully or partially to form an undulating wooden screen.
• The first 1946 production models used a flexible “vinylite” tape to join the plywood sections, another example of Eames putting to civilian use new materials and technologies developed in wartime.
• Today, a polypropylene mesh held securely by a new process ensures a longer life without compromising the integrity of the 1946 design.
