Pietro Russo, a designer for Baxter, has achieved a near-perfect synthesis of form and function with his Mantice screen.
This screen's compositional freedom makes it work with any kind of furniture, and its adaptability allows it to characterize any setting, giving it its own unique identity and sense of intimacy. It can be used for the widest range of purposes. The lightweight, portable material makes the dividing line between spaces look good and is simple to put to practical use. The primary framework is made out of satin brass, and the panels, each of which can contain between four and six modules, are constructed out of birch plywood and aluminium foil that has been covered in leather.
The object's refined versatility stems from the fact that it makes use of a number of different materials.
