Eames Molded Plywood Folding Screen
In their early experiments in molded plywood, Charles and Ray Eames were intrigued to see if they could create structures stable enough to stand. This idea soon became reality in a portable, foldable way to divide space, known as the Molded Plywood Folding Screen (1946). Standing almost six feet tall, the screen is made up of six U-shaped panels that have natural face veneers and lightweight walnut inner plies. These panels were originally held together with canvas hinges and a synthetic adhesive developed during WWII. Today, the screen is made with a polypropylene mesh that's more flexible and longer lasting. Shift the footprint of the undulating panels to fit the space needed, and when not in use, fold the screen for compact storage.

The Eameses were a husband and wife team whose unique synergy led to a whole new look in furniture. Lean and modern. Sleek, sophisticated and simple. Beautifully functional.
Yet Charles and Ray Eames created more than a "look" with...
