After noticing issues with the functionality and design of existing acrylic partitions being used during the COVID-19 pandemic, we redesigned the partitions with a completely new concept. While enhancing the functionality of preventing the spread of COVID-19, the redesigned partitions blend well with the interior of design offices, fashionable showrooms, trendy bars, and fine dining restaurants.

After considering various colors and materials, we came to the conclusion that "transparency" can be harmonized with luxury stores, Japanese-style rooms, and all landscapes.
The beautiful design of a transparent panel being supported at one point in the center by a transparent pedestal is the highest expression of transparency. By floating the panel by 3 cm, visually it appears to be floating. There is also an ease of hearing the voice and the freedom to choose layout options.

The organically shaped panel is an unique idea that allows you to select two patterns depending on the mounting position. Furthermore, by engraving the unique art calligraphy of fRAum®, it can be enjoyed as a long lasting piece of art, thus reducing waste in the environment. With the technology of the manufacturer Sumitomo Chemical, 100% recycling has also become possible.
