The softblocks modern room divider are beautiful, lightweight, freestanding blocks that can expand and be arranged into almost any shape or easily compressed and stored away. A revolutionary design concept that will captivate your imagination!

Description:
Textile softblocks are a modular system of building blocks with embedded magnetic connectors that can be used alone, or stacked and joined together. Like giant stretchy Lego blocks, each textile softblock can be expanded up to 20 feet long and freely shaped and stacked to create richly textured walls up to 10 feet in height. Functional horizontal surfaces can also be formed within a wall or as a long winding counter/bar. Textile softblocks have an abstract sculptural quality and can be readily used to create an entire environment with qualities of soft ambient light and delicate acoustics, or simply used to form a long winding partition, table, or bar.

When backlit with natural or electric light, the translucent white textile softblocks really come to life, as patterns of light and shadow shift with the changing textures created by the pleated surface of the blocks. The honeycomb structure of the blocks is dense enough to support a useful amount of weight. As such, softblocks can be used to display objects, or to create functional surfaces, such as for a bar or buffet, simply by placing a tray or shelf across the honeycomb cells. Textile softblocks are easy to manipulate, able to withstand rough handling, and are water and tear resistant. Softblocks can be dusted, vacuumed, and wiped clean with a damp cloth.

Due to the brilliant design it has already won many design awards after debuting in 2005 and is now part of MoMA's permanent collection!
