Although dividers serve a rather practical purpose, that doesn't mean they have to look like they do. The Phenomena Screen has an undulating surface and is more like a sculpture rather than a functional piece of furniture.
Designed by Sang Hoon Kim, the Phenomena Screen is inspired by the way light moves over time. Sold for $3000-$7000 depending on its size, the dividers may be pricey, but considering that they serve two purposes (as art and furniture), they are well worth the cost.
