ABOUT PRODUCTID 6938
The bent plywood room divider designed by Ludvík Volák for Dřevopodnik Holešov is a hallmark of 1960s Czechoslovak design, where practical function meets the organic lightness of form. Crafted from light, natural plywood with a warm, subtly yellowish tone, its smooth, satin finish highlights the wood grain. The structure consists of two rectangular modules linked by vertical elements, each featuring asymmetrically arranged shelves with rounded, flowing edges. This creates a dynamic rhythm that allows the piece to function as a shelving unit, plant stand, or open partition. The joints are precise and concealed, with no visible hardware, while flat, rectangular feet ensure the stability of its tall, slender silhouette. Condition: professionally restored, with no visible damage or signs of wear. This piece channels the optimism and modernity that swept through Central Europe in the 1960s—a period when interiors were envisioned as open, airy, and organized around the flow of light and space. The bent plywood speaks of a fascination with material: how wood can be coaxed into soft, almost sculptural shapes without losing its utility. The divider carries the energy of modernism—dynamic, slightly graphic, but never austere. Each curve of the shelf seems to invite the display of favorite ceramics or a collection of plants, while the repetition of modules introduces visual rhythm, bringing order to the space without enclosing it. The divider can be used as a semi-transparent shelving unit to zone
