Artek Screen 100D Room Divider – Lacquered Pine

The Screen 100C is a room divider designed by Alvar Aalto in 1936 and produced by the Finnish company Artek. The screen consists of thin pine slats, giving it a supple and flexible structure. This allows it to be arranged in various shapes—from a gentle undulation to a rounded arc—and easily rolled up for storage when needed.

The natural pine gives the lightweight room divider a warm, organic look, perfectly in line with Aalto's vision of combining functionality with the beauty of natural materials.

About the renowned designer:

Hugo Alvar Henrik Aalto (1898–1976) was born in Kuortane, Finland. His father, Johan Henrik Aalto, was a Finnish-speaking surveyor, and his mother, Selly (Selma) Matilda, was a postal worker. When Aalto was 5 years old, the family moved to Alajärvi and from there to Jyväskylä in Central Finland. Aalto attended the Jyväskylä Lyceum school, completing his primary education in 1916. In 1916, he enrolled to study architecture at the Helsinki University of Technology, graduating in 1921.

In 1923, he returned to Jyväskylä, where he opened his first architectural firm. Jyväskylä would become a notable city for its architecture, with more buildings designed by him than in any other city. The following year, he married architect Aino Marsio. Their honeymoon to Italy cemented an intellectual bond with Mediterranean culture that would remain important to Aalto for the rest of his life. The Aaltos moved their office to Turku in 1927 and began collaborating with architect Erik Bryggman. The office moved back to Helsinki in 1933.

The Aaltos designed and built a shared home office (1935–36) for themselves in Munkkiniemi, Helsinki, but later (1954–56) commissioned a purpose-built office in the same neighborhood—the latter building now houses the Alvar Aalto Academy. Aino and Alvar Aalto had two children, a daughter, Johanna "Hanni" Alanen, born in 1925, and a son, Hamilkar Aalto, born in 1928. In 1926, the young Aaltos designed and built a summer cottage in Alajärvi, Villa Flora. Aino Aalto died of cancer in 1949. In 1952, Aalto married architect Elissa Mäkiniemi (d. 1994), who had worked as an assistant in his office. In 1952, Aalto designed and built a summer house, the so-called Experimental House, for himself and his new wife in Muuratsalo in Central Finland. Alvar Aalto died on May 11, 1976, in Helsinki.
