Softwall
plankton here, jackin' electro's blog account again.
Created by Vancouver design studio Molo, the paper softwall is a flexible and temporal way to create your walls. Softwall can be compressed and stored away if one wants a larger open space or it can be expanded to make smaller private spaces within the larger space. Made of 400 honeycombed layers of fire-retardant translucent paper, it dampens sound, absorbs and transmits light and is modularly expandable, folding out from only 3 centimeters to 7.5 meters.
It's now part of MoMA's permanent collection

won't that dust-collector look like hell in no time... or will the yellowed carboned patina appear somehow vintage-future ?

^^^Good Question, after some further research, we've discovered that the Softwall will not discolor naturally over time nor does it attract dust. It is made from a fire-retardant material so it will stay bright white for many years. :)
