About the Item

Jomaine Baumann art deco room divider, wood, Switzerland, 1938 Designed in 1938 by Swiss architect and designer Jomaine Baumann, this sculptural room divider exemplifies the refined geometry and warm materiality of late Art Deco interiors. The undulating silhouette and vertical relief structure are crafted from solid fir, creating a rhythm of light and shadow that animates the surface while emphasizing the screen’s architectural function. The three-hinged panels are subtly scalloped at the top, evoking organic movement within a rigorously linear composition. Baumann, known for his contributions to modernist architecture in Switzerland, often explored the interplay between rationalist construction and decorative restraint. This piece reflects his signature balance: tactile yet disciplined, decorative yet functional. Comparable in spirit to the work of Pierre Chareau or Maurice Jallot, it also shares a conceptual affinity with the Italian school of the 1930s and ’40s—particularly Paolo Buffa and Guglielmo Ulrich—whose furnishings combined architectural rigor with sculptural softness and artisanal refinement. As both a functional partition and a freestanding sculptural presence, this piece blurs the boundary between utility and expressive form, offering a sophisticated dialogue between modernist principles and decorative legacy.
