The Algues Room Divider Adds an Organic Touch to Living Spaces
Meghan Young — September 19, 2012 — Art & Design
The Algues room divider is a striking partition inspired by seaweed. Utterly organic in looks, it will make people channel their inner Little Mermaid as they navigate their home amidst this addition. Essentially, it is made up of small branch-like components that can be snapped together to form a multitude of different forms with differing visibility.
Designed by brothers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, the Algues room divider can also act as a decorative wall hanging. Available in a variety of colors (green, light green, red, light red, black, white and transparent), there is no reason that the Algues room divider should be dismissed as something only ocean lovers would appreciate. It could complement many living spaces.
