More About Duo Partition System

Duo is a modular system, capable of creating a spatial graphic sign which captures the 1960s mid-century modern vibe. The modules are easily assembled and disassembled with rubber bands, without any tools, allowing the user to adjust the aesthetic to their own liking. The black and white modulation recalls the geometric compositions of mid-century style, while in pastel colors it changes into a flight of butterflies. Duo can be arranged with ease as a room divider, console, side table, always creating a distinctive pattern that changes stylistically with changing colors.
