Screen 100

$3,850

Made by Artek

Designed by Alvar Aalto

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What wood is used in the Artek Screen 100?

The Screen 100 is constructed from natural pine, cut into thin vertical strips and joined with cotton cord lacing. Artek sources and finishes the pine in a manner consistent with Aalto's original material intentions, preserving the wood's natural grain and warmth.

Can the Screen 100 hold a curved shape on its own?

Yes. The laced pine construction allows the screen to hold both straight and curved configurations without any additional hardware or support. The tension created by the cotton lacing keeps the chosen form stable under normal conditions.

What are the dimensions of the Artek Screen 100?

The Screen 100 measures approximately 100 centimeters in height, with its extended width depending on how the panels are arranged. It is designed to read as a low, horizontal band that filters space without fully enclosing it.

When did Alvar Aalto design the Screen 100?

Aalto developed the Screen 100 in the 1930s, during the same period he was exploring bent and laminated wood techniques for furniture produced by Artek, the company he co-founded in Helsinki in 1935.

How does the Screen 100 define space without blocking light?

The vertical pine strips are narrow and spaced to allow light and sightlines to pass through, creating a sense of zone or enclosure without visual opacity. This quality makes it well suited to open-plan interiors where atmosphere matters more than strict division.
