Telmessos Desk Screen

Telmessos is a freestanding screen that sits between two desks or at the end of a row of desks. The sand-coloured fabric panel has softly rounded upper corners. It is held on both sides and along its bottom by a slim solid walnut frame, leaving the top edge in fabric. The two side rails of the frame continue below the panel and join two flat walnut foot plates, so the screen stands on two feet. A fine recessed shadow line runs between the fabric and the walnut. It takes its name from Telmessos, the ancient city in Fethiye, Muğla. We make it in our factory in Istanbul. The panel holds a sound-absorbing infill and is covered in a durable contract-grade weave. The fabric is dusted with a soft brush and a mark is blotted with a damp cloth. The walnut frame wipes with a dry or slightly damp cloth. The screen is not fixed to the desk; when it needs to move, it is lifted with two hands and carried to another desk. It stands between two facing desks, at the end of a meeting table or in front of a reception point. Fabric colour, walnut tone and size are chosen at order.
