The American manufacturing company 3form unveiled its Horizon collection of room dividers. The Horizon range features gradient textiles. Made with translucent resin, the room dividers are etched out of glass panels. Combining the translucent materials with the fabric patterns, the room dividers boast a tactile quality.
According to the brand, "the Horizon collection textiles are washed in rich transitional shades from light to dark blue, light to dark grey, and orange to gold, which become gradually softer and more translucent as the panel ascends." The range's design is heavily informed by colors that are often seen at dawn and dusk. The goal is to instill a calming effect through the translucent color choices while maintaining a sense of privacy in open-concept spaces.
