Screen

Screen takes its cue from decorative screens, where geometry has long served both practical and ornamental purposes. From carved stone to pierced timber, these structures filter and divide while turning repetition into decoration.

That idea has travelled particularly well across cultures. Islamic architecture developed it with extraordinary intricacy, while modernist designers later explored similar ideas through concrete screens and patterned blocks. The materials changed, but the fascination with geometry and openness remained.

Gold takes Screen into more decorative territory. It recalls the richness of pierced metalwork and gilded detail, while stone keeps a connection with architecture and permanence. Together, they bridge the ornamental and structural histories behind the original idea.

Screen was never about reproducing a particular historical reference. It borrows from a much broader tradition, where a practical architectural element gradually became an opportunity for pattern. Gold simply gives that tradition another material to play with.
