Partition Screen: A Masterpiece of Art and Functionality

A Unique Design Inspired by Indeeahs Cultural Ethos

Amee Vora, a renowned designer, has created a stunning partition screen that seamlessly combines art, functionality, and cultural inspiration. This masterpiece, inspired by the traditional art of stenciling from Mathura, Krishna's hometown, showcases the finest art of spiritual expression. The design draws inspiration from the Kadamba tree, symbolizing growth and life itself.

The partition screen features a strategic juxtaposition of a suspension lamp, personified as Krishna himself, within the frame. This clever combination of natural and artificial light creates a captivating aesthetic that enhances the ambience of any space. The design not only adds beauty but also augments the brand image and fosters a sense of goodwill and trust, making it perfect for a securities company.

What sets this partition screen apart is its unique use of materials and craftsmanship. The design utilizes the traditional technique of "Sanjhi Art," which involves intricate paper cutting. However, to overcome the limitation of size, the designer opted for faux leather panels. These panels were then sandwiched between sheets of glass, resulting in a transparent module that allows light to pass through while maintaining visual continuity.

The partition screen measures 50'-0" x 1-0" x 8'-10" and is divided into 13 panels, with one panel serving as a door. The use of extra-clear glass from Saint Gobain and gossamer-like faux leather bound with adhesive ensures a flawless finish both inside and out. Stainless steel custom extrusions in T and C profiles provide sturdy support while maintaining a sleek and reflective appearance.

Located in Lotus Business Park, Jogeshwari, Mumbai, India, this partition screen has transformed the workspace into a realm of artistic expression and inspiration. The shifting incidence of sunlight creates a play of light and shadow, animating the space and inspiring users to reach greater heights.

Amee Vora's design research focused on harnessing the metaphorical quality of light for growth and life. By filtering and optimizing natural and artificial light, the design creates a positive and energizing environment. The challenge of the site's south-facing orientation was overcome by carefully controlling the quantum and intensity of light in each workplace, ensuring a comfortable and productive atmosphere.

This partition screen has received international recognition and was awarded the prestigious Iron A' Design Award in 2017. This accolade is a testament to its well-designed, practical, and innovative nature. It meets professional and industrial requirements while contributing to a better world through its integration of industry best practices and competent technical characteristics.
