Like punctuation, SCREEN panels coordinate the lines of the contemporary office.
In the wide open space, the partition system created by Francesco Rota allows each work station to be defined, thanks to magnet linking system.
It is an elegant “invisible” element that provides privacy in a light version. Maximum versatility for heights and for tubular wood solutions or a sound-absorbing fabric panel. The space stays open, the mind can concentrate and rest.
