Room Divider 01, a stand-out of St. John’s furniture line, is a graceful, solid brass wonder. “It’s not meant to function as a privacy thing,” he explains. “It’s more about spacial separation, a way to demarcate areas within a room. This is obviously a stand alone piece, but something I’ve always envisioned is doing customized versions with similar forms – maybe a floor-to-ceiling option. Someone spoke to us recently about putting plants below it so they’d lace in as they grew. I thought that was interesting.”
