a THREE-PANEL ILLUMINATED ROOM DIVIDER FOR DOMESTIC WORKSPACES

Designed by Jialiang Guo, the Ripple Light Screen is a suspended, illuminated spatial divider conceived for residential workspaces. Addressing the boundary between professional tasks and domestic routines, the three-panel prototype integrates low-voltage illumination with layered materiality to simultaneously partition and light interior environments.

WOODEN RIBS EMULATE WATER CURRENTS AROUND CIRCULAR VOIDS

The screen’s graphic composition by designer Jialiang Guo is informed by fluid dynamics, specifically the movement of water diverting around stones in a stream. Across the tripartite assembly, concentric curves radiate from circular voids into continuous, undulating horizontal lines. Structurally, CNC-routed or steam-bent wooden contours are mounted proud of a taut fabric substrate, generating physical depth across the screen plane.…
