Chinese Screen Room Divider
The screen room divider is a piece of furniture that divides a room into different areas. Architects and interior designers use room dividers to divide the space into separate areas. There are several types of screen room dividers: shoji screens, walls, pipe and drape screens, and cubic partitions. Room dividers can be made of many materials, including framed cotton canvas fabric, plexiglass, wood carved, pleated fabric, or mirrors. Railings, shelves, or plants can also be used as dividers.
In China, folding room screens were found in the 7th century, where they were used by royalty. They were beautiful and very heavy and were not moved. More portable room dividers for tea ceremonies, religious ceremonies, and outdoor processions were used by the Japanese in the eighth century. Using wood, leather, silk, mirrors, and deco pages, European tourists created their version of the Asian screen dividers. Painted folding screens are now used in restaurants, homes, schools, corporate offices, hospitals, and convention centers.
