Keep browsing to discover the story behind Palapala divider - where and how it's made, how it fits into your home, and what others are saying about it.
Where the idea for Palapala divider came from?
"The kitchen, dining area and living room are a single open space in around 90% of new homes. The aim is to create a sense of space and spaciousness. Sometimes a light and transparent partition is needed to structure the space and provide some privacy, while still allowing the room to breathe. This was the starting point for the design of the divider."
-Severi / Product Manager
Designing the Palapala divider
"In my childhood in the 70s, it became fashionable to have apartments where the living room and kitchen were in the same space. It was a really radical idea. Even then there was a need for room dividers, so you made them yourself out of rolls of yarn and string and who knows what else. It was this culture that inspired Palapala."
-Tapio / Designer
Palapala divider in use
"Palapala is both protective and transparent. It also decorates the room and gives it a character. It can be used as a room divider, but also as a curtain, even in front of a window. The pieces can be used to create larger and smaller ensembles, playing with closed and perforated pieces"
-Arja / Interior Architect
A story behind the Palapala divider
"Surprisingly, the need for this type of product has increased because of the desire for space and privacy at the same time. Older people see it as very retro and for younger people it's something completely new."
-Tapio / designer

Manufacturing the Palapala divider

Todella ystävällistä ja nopeaa palvelua. Toiveenani ollut koivun ja mustan "sekalaatikko" onnistuttiin kasaamaan toimistolta löytyneistä paloista lähetys oli kotonani jo muutamassa päivässä.
Kiitos Severille ja Mialle erinomaisesta palvelusta ja työstä!
