softwall + softblock mobile partitions are an engaging medium to experiment with and experience colour in any space. Light reflects back and forth between the vertical fins and folds of these freestanding walls, intensifying colour and transforming a single shade into a dynamic range of hues that shift as light moves across the partition’s sculptural form.
we chose this very pale shade of pink, knowing that the pleated surface of softwall + softblock would convert it into an emotive array, from saturated and luminous deep pinks to a barely-there blush. The textures of the softwall, when combined with light, bring the colour to life. A similar phenomenon occurs in nature between the pale pink petals of peonies and other flowers, creating a vibrant inner colour.

how colour affects us
the interplay of light, colour and emotion is integral to Stephanie + Todd's ongoing investigation of multisensory space-making.
the warm glow of a space made with these rosy walls is contagious, evoking feelings of joy, calm and tenderness. Passing between pink softwalls we have noticed that the instinct to smile is irresistible.
Walls of jail cells were painted "Baker-Miller pink" in the late 1970s and early 1980s based on the research of American Psychologist Alexander George Schauss. Also known as “drunk tank pink,” the colour seemed to immediately calm aggressive behaviour and decrease stress.
privacy screen features
pink textile softwall is made from layers of a recyclable 100% polyethylene non-woven textile, joined to create a flexible honeycomb structure. This unique combination of material, honeycomb architecture and a patened end panel design allows the softwall to be incredibly flexible, durable, lightweight and sturdy all at the same time. The non-woven textile and pleated surfaces not only break up reflected sound and provide acoustic absorption, it also gives the walls an abstract sculptural appearance and sense of infinity.
designed and refined over two decades, softwall was created for sustainable use over time. Here are key features that support a long life and responsible use:
• anti-static to repel dust
• tear-resistant
• fire retardant
• easily cleaned with soap and water
• highly portable and storable
• 100% recyclable
