Fixed hospital screen Eames®

foldingportable

Overview
A portable, foldable screen designed to divide space, create a backdrop or add privacy in residential and contract interiors.

Designed by
Charles and Ray Eames

Enduring construction
The screen is formed from six U‑shaped plywood sections with maple inner plies laminated between veneer faces (light ash, walnut, natural cherry or ebony). This laminated construction resists warping and separation. A woven polypropylene mesh links the sections, allowing adjustment of the footprint and simple folding for transport and storage. Each section measures approximately 25 cm in length; the screen unfolds to about 152 cm and folds to a thickness of approximately 6 cm.
