“Screen 100,” crafted by Alvar Aalto in 1936, belongs to the design genre. The artwork showcases Aalto’s innovation and expertise in creating functional and aesthetic household items.
The artwork exemplifies the beauty of modernist design, featuring a series of narrow, vertical wooden slats joined together to form a wave-like structure. This screen is notable for its fluid form, flexibility, and the play of light and shadow on its undulating surface. The natural wood finish imparts a sense of warmth, while the rhythmic arrangement of the slats creates an interplay of open and closed spaces, enhancing its practical use as a room divider.
