Partition, by Studio David Thulstrup and Sto.
The hardest part of the process, says Danish architect David Thulstrup, was ‘finding the right idea’, one that both explored the properties of the material and responded to the Wallpaper* Handmade exhibition’s theme of Wellness + Wonder.
We had paired Thulstrup with Sto, a German company that makes panelling with acoustic properties, as well as wall insulation, rainscreen cladding and render systems. ‘I felt it was so interesting to work with this idea of creating a quiet moment of meditation in space,’ says Thulstrup. ‘I wanted to make something that you could walk into or pass through – a zone free of sound.’ Making a whole room was not really an option, so his solution was to make an object that represented a room: a freestanding room divider that you can ‘sit in front of or enclose yourself with’.
