Partitions and Dividers "Made in Spain" in Coronavirus Times: Design and Functionality

Social distancing is one of the most effective measures to protect ourselves from Covid-19. And in public spaces, where a significant number of people are concentrated, it is essential to have partitions and dividers to help protect us from getting infected.

Spanish companies have already launched original solutions, which provide design for working, having a drink or watching a film at the cinema in a relaxing and safe manner.

For the office, most Spanish companies in the sector offer protective partitions for workstations, but we will stop at one of them, Ofita, to show two of its solutions: the LISIS NEO PANEL partitions, which allow any type of compartmentalization of spaces and have a double function: divide the office in a personalized manner, and/or create workstations in accordance with the use of each space. In addition, their integrated technology allows for full connectivity. And the FLIP screens, designed by Antoni Arola which facilitate the separation and creation of personal spaces in a comfortable manner, also bringing design to the workspace. It is suitable for both individual and collective tables and can be easily moved.

In case we want to have a drink at a bar or restaurant, the iSiMAR firm offers the MARIO modular dividing system to create spaces, both indoors and outdoors, always respecting social distance. And if we want movable dividers in different sizes, ideal also for any environment, the PARADISO collection, created by Ilmiodesign and the ARENA collection are two very aesthetic and functional design options.

If you are looking for a space divider with a unique and customizable design, the Kriskadecor brand suggests its static or movable artistic dividers. Made with metal chains, which allow reproducing any image that comes to mind as if it were a mosaic, they allow you to create spectacular partitions or architectural dividers that generate an exclusive atmosphere and a great impact on the interior design of your restaurant, hotel or office.

The company Sellex, for its part, has designed protective partitions for its AERO, SLAM and BILDU benches that allow the recommended social distance between users to be maintained, while they rest or wait in any public space, indoor or outdoor. This solution helps reduce the risk of infection between people sitting on the same bench. The screens made of transparent methacrylate, have a height from head to the seat. With a thickness of about 6 mm, they are placed on the benches as a temporary accessory so that, once the pandemic is over, they can be removed and the seats can be kept in their original format.

Finally, the Ezcaray company has presented the SHELL screen in methacrylate for cinema seats, theaters and other auditoriums, they separate the seats we want in any room and can also be used as an advertising support.
