    Chiasso bamboo coil room divider-

    We bought one a couple of months ago at the warehouse sale and like it very much. I love the bent plywood eames divider (gorgeous!) but this one was a bit more in our price range.

    Ikea Expedit Shelf

    Lack Shelf
    I'm sure there's a way to connect the Lack Shelves together to make a divider.

    I love Molo's softwall! But *Terramia* has some contending selections on her blog as well. She did a cool post a bit ago which compelled me to consider buying one. Christopher Douglas makes a wicked Flipper screen too.

    Williams Sonoma Home has this one on sale: http://www.wshome.com/products/p403/index.cfm?pkey=csalfur

    It's a bit asian, a bit traditional, might work with some modern.

    Check out the K57 http://www.livingartsdesign.com/html/furniture/14K57.html

    The pictures here do not do it justice -it is gorgeous in person - it is made of beautiful leather, with stitching around the edges, and the flaps open freely, pivoting around a central rod. I wish I could afford it, but it is ridiculously priced (I think something around $25000 Cdn)
