Seinäkkeet

Seinäkkeet is a Finnish term that broadly refers to partitions, dividers, or screens used to divide interior spaces. These can range from simple, temporary solutions to more permanent architectural features. The primary purpose of seinäkkeet is to create separate zones within a larger room, enhancing functionality, privacy, or acoustics.

Common types of seinäkkeet include movable screens, often made of fabric, wood, or metal, which offer flexibility in reconfiguring a space. These are frequently seen in offices, studios, and event venues. More permanent seinäkkeet can be constructed from materials like drywall, glass, or wood, acting as partial or full walls to define distinct areas such as bedrooms, meeting rooms, or reception areas. In some contexts, the term can also encompass elements like large bookcases or wardrobes used as dividers. The design and material choice for seinäkkeet depend heavily on the intended use, aesthetic preferences, and the specific requirements for sound insulation or light transmission.
