Richard Harvey's Sculpta-Grille screen is a stunning and iconic architectural feature that was designed in the 1960s as a decorative enhancement for homes, commercial spaces, hotels etc. The grille itself is made of injection molded plastic (Tenite-Butyrate). The screen, often referred to as "bones" features a modern undulating sculpture that sits atop a walnut base. The piece looks wonderful as a sculpture, or even a sculptural elemat type room-divider. This listing is for 6'L x 8' T screen-- as shown not in intro photo, but in second photo. This listing is for 1 screen. This piece would look incredible paired with Mid-Century Modern, Danish modern, or Scandinavian design. Currently we have this piece in our gallery placed alongside a Hans Wegner flag chair...

Richard Harvey's Sculpta-Grille screen is made of injection molded plastic (Tenite-Butyrate). This screen is an original abstract form conceived to enhance present day architectural settings. The delicacy of this sculpture combined with depth of form create a rhythm of motion. Changes in lighting and viewing position produce ever-changing pattern flow and continuing interest.

Born in 1919 and raised in New York City, Richard "Dick" Harvey studied art at Brooklyn Tech High school and received a degree in Mechanical Engineering at City College of New York. His initial goal was a career in the fledgling field of Industrial Design. When World War II broke out, Harvey served in the US Navy. After his navy service he began working with his father--a first class toolmaker, designing and manufacturing plastic injection molds for the doll industry. Primarily a designer, Harvey observed that modern architectural styles of the 1940s and 1950s could appear Stark and lacking suitable decorative relief. He began researching; sculpting and designing what he felt would be an appropriate complement to modern architectural design. Harvey began hand-building plaster-of-paris prototypes for classically-styled grille-work. Responses to these designs were overwhelmingly positive and Harvey was encouraged to develop the idea further. He initially chose four Classic designs; "Ring and Bar," "Persian," "Persian-Lattice" and "Arabesque". The late 1950s were a period of creative entrepreneurship and Harvey made the decision to go into business. Injection molds were built and new-product press releases were sent to trade publications. In June of 1959 an article and photograph appeared in Interior Design Magazine; inquiries and orders quickly followed. "Harvey Design...
