FRANK LLOYD SHOJI?
At least that was the reference my client made when she first saw the finished product installed in her office. I am very fortunate when a client allows me the freedom to come up with a design that lets the creative juices to flow. The initial job requested was for a bypass shoji screen to buffer the morning sun.
I wanted to achieve balance aesthetically, while offering two different views. One of the many great things about shoji as window treatment is the diversity of patterns that can be created. As you can see in this instance where angles were chosen versus the typical squares.
The shoji screens were built in the Japanese tradition using Port Orford Cedar and Unryu paper.
