Small Folding Screen
Oct 24, 2012
Woodworker: Carl Swensson
Carl Swensson’s first attempt at screen making yielded this shoji-inspired piece included in Home Furniture, #5. The original design melds concepts from a Japanese book featuring intricately-latticed screens and shoji, the traditional Japanese window and doorway covers. The Port-Orford-cedar screen uses Japanese braid hinges and took one-and-a-half months to complete. Uncooked wheat starch is the glue binding the handmade paper sheets to the frame.
