skärmwägg

A skärmvägg, often translated as a screen or partition wall, is a type of freestanding, movable, or semi-permanent structure used to divide interior spaces. These elements are employed for various purposes, including creating visual privacy, defining different functional zones within a larger room, or simply for aesthetic enhancement.

Skärmväggar can be constructed from a wide range of materials, such as wood, fabric, metal, glass, or composite panels. Their design varies greatly, from simple, solid panels to more elaborate structures incorporating shelving, integrated lighting, or acoustic dampening features. The portability of many skärmväggar allows for flexible spatial arrangements, enabling users to reconfigure layouts as needed without extensive construction work. In office environments, they are commonly used to create individual workstations or quiet areas. In homes, they might separate a dining area from a living room or provide a visual barrier in an open-plan space. The term "skärmvägg" originates from Swedish and literally means "screen wall."
