Foam Fences

Sometimes the suggestion of privacy is enough. This is what Anton Hendrik Denys explores in ‘Foam Fences’. By combining open and closed structures, this series of screens help define an interior without blocking any light or diminishing the sense of space. Thick foam strips overlap each other, creating patterns with a subtle sense of depth. Covering the foam is a coating with a hard, almost metallic look that contrasts with the softness of the frame. The user is invited to come closer and investigate this visual contradiction, triggering him to interact with the scene on the other side.
