These felt room dividers have a certain simplicity and elegance that makes them both a great high-end design and an inspiring template for a DIY project. Created by UK-based Buzzispace, the "Buzziscreen" and "Buzzizone" dividers are made from a core of biodegradable board material covered in felt, with panels attached together by that brilliant invention—the zipper!
It's such a simple design—cardboard covered in felt—that it seems dangerously DIYable (meaning we'd think it would be easy but getting the right look would assuredly turn out to be harder than we thought). Still, our DIY archives are full of felt projects (like this one and these) that would provide a good jumping off point.
If you'd rather skip the difficult work and just buy one, these British screens are sold in the US through d'apostrophe in New York, but they're not cheap. Prepare to pay around $1,500 to $1,800 for this smartly designed system.

Why wouldn't you just pick up cubicle walls from a going-out-of-business sale?
I thought they looked suspiciously familiar, and then like Kay, I realized they were basically cubicles.
How do designers get away with charging such insane prices for items that cost so little to make? Who are their idiot customers?
fantastic!!
"Who are their idiot customers?"
People who write design blogs?
Buzzispace is Belgian, not British.
The first picture had me thinking...that's none to shabby!! Then I looked at the rest and realized oh wait. I already have that right here in my cube farm at work. I don't need that at home.
