Vintage & Fresh Room Dividers

Hello! We're back w/ a post on INTERIORS

-- Room Dividers to be exact --

Complete w/ lamps!

Popular mid-century, decorative (& functional) room dividers were commonly used to (literally) divide a space creatively. Beats the hell outta drywall!

Better Homes and Gardens. May 1969

Schaffer Residence by architect John Lautner, 1949 showcased in the great film A Single Man (2009)

Higgins glass rondelays dividers, circa 1960s

Brown Vujcich Home, by Bossley Architects

What a beaut!
