PLAYFOOL room divider / a classic piece of furniture in a contemporary interior

PLAYFOOL, an autonomous textile product.

The concept for the PLAYFOOL screen was born from a desire to design a textile object unlike anything previously created by Panama. It was envisioned as a product that stands alone—independent of other furniture—yet remains adaptable to you, the moment, and the possibilities of the space. A luxury piece of furniture? Yes. But above all, one that invites interaction. You can slide, fold, and unfold it, play with its form, and rearrange its panels just as your day evolves.

Jacquard fabric in a new product

At the heart of the design lies jacquard—a pattern created simultaneously with the fabric itself. This ensures the panels look equally striking from both sides. Jacquard fabric embodies a sense of palatial luxury, yet one that is approachable - perfectly suited to intimate living spaces - and offers functionality alongside its decorative appeal.

Our inspiration for this story came from "bouba" and "kiki" shapes: soft versus sharp, organic versus geometric. We love this contrast; it feels like a dialogue between colors and forms that meet on the fabric to weave a narrative of their own.

Six panels, like six paintings

PLAYFOOL consists of six textile panels framed like paintings. Casters and hinges allow you to easily move, fold, store, or display it. You can position each panel differently, and the fabrics can be removed and washed. This makes it a design that doesn’t stand still—it changes along with you.

Pleasure, rediscovered in everyday life.

At Panama Studio, we are always intrigued by the moment of encounter—where our product meets the everyday. PLAYFOOL is precisely about that: a piece of furniture with the grandeur of a palace, reimagined in an everyday form. It embodies our manifesto that beautiful objects can be part of our daily lives, not just reserved for special occasions.

The PLAYFOOL screen was featured at the Łódź Design Festival 2025 and exhibited at the Czech Design Festival in Prague.
