white textile softblock | modular acoustic room divider
Flexible building blocks, each textile softblock can be stretched to 15 feet (4.5 meters) long, connected magnetically, and stacked to create a tall, richly textured space partition or backdrop. Available in modular sizes softblocks belong to the larger collection of molo paper furniture and can be used to shape entire environments or to form long, winding partitions and product displays.
Design by Stephanie Forsythe and Todd MacAllen

movement
The honeycomb geometry and soft material allow softblock to flex and curve, creating straight partitions or snaking structures. The blocks flat-pack for portability and storage, expanding up to 15 feet (4.5 meters) or any length between.
modular
softwall + softblock is a modular system of flexible space partitions. Elements are stackable and come in standard heights ranging from 1 – 10 feet (30.5 – 305 centimetres) tall. softwall + softblock connect horizontally by magnetic end panels, making it possible to create endless lengths of walls or stack and link blocks to shape entire environments.
material
The translucent white textile softwall + softblock have a visually delicate appearance reminiscent of Japanese washi paper, and the pattern of its fine fibres comes to life when illuminated. A non-woven textile made from polyethylene (HDPE), the material is anti-static (repels dust), tear-resistant and water-resistant. Made to order for molo, our textile is a bright white that has an impressive colour consistency over time. It is easy to maintain and can be wiped clean with a soft cloth, water and liquid dish soap.
textile softwall + softblock and its paper sibling are recyclable; both have been welcomed into Google Portico’s catalogue of healthy building materials.
walls with integrated lighting
Optional LED ribbons wind through horizontal tunnels that are in each softwall + softblock, to transform these elements into expressive, luminous space partitions.

Stephanie Forsythe and Todd MacAllen cofounded molo in 2003 and are best known for sharing their ideas and products for flexible, sustainable spacemaking around the world. Over the past three decades, the partners have worked together and led the Vancouver-based studio from humble beginnings to international recognition and acclaim. Along the way, they have assembled a dedicated team and a family of specialized manufacturers that support them in this endeavour. The partners work together to design all of molo’s products and projects, which range in size from a tea set to a museum. Forsythe and MacAllen met in 1994 while studying Architecture at Dalhousie University. Between 1994 and 2003, they worked together on several award-winning architectural projects and competition proposals. These projects included foundational investigations into materials, flexibility, and sustainable space making. The partners built molo around these early explorations and ideas, and they continue to drive the spirit behind the studio. Together, they designed and developed the iconic soft collection, a sculptural line of innovative, flexible space partitions, furniture, and lighting elements made from paper and textile. The award-winning soft collection is well known for its poetic beauty and pragmatic design. It experiences steady, iterative development as Stephanie Forsythe and Todd MacAllen continue their experiential and technical investigations, or as a sensitivity to nature and how the products interact with light and shadow inspires new finishes or colours. Stephanie Forsythe, Todd MacAllen, and molo hold over thirty-five patents and thirty design registrations. They have received numerous international design and architecture awards, including the prestigious Danish INDEX Award for Design to Improve Life for softwall, the Architectural Review AR + D Award for Colorado House, 2010 Emerging Voices Award from The Architectural League of New York and Grand Prize in the Aomori Northern Housing Competition. Their products have been acquired by many museum and gallery collections, including the New York Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), the Chicago Art Institute, Die Neue Sammlung, and the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum.
