Nola Star by Ami Kealoha
The right room divider can transform a sprawling open space by creating intimacy and adding dimension. Nola Star takes the concept a couple steps further with customizable patterns that also let in light. Available in two different patterns (pictured above and after the jump) and in transluscent candy colors, the round-edged plastic squares measure approximately 8x8 inches and have holes on all four sides that connect with metal rings. The flexibility means Nola Star can be configured to nearly any space—whether mid-room, as a wall covering, in a window, or simply as an accent element—and it can fold out of the way if needed.
