black textile softwall | flexible freestanding partition
textile softwall is a modern room divider and flexible partition that may be arranged in countless curved or linear formations. When stored compressed, the folding wall shrinks to the thickness of a book. From its condensed state, it expands to an impressive 15 feet (4.5 meters) long or any length between.
The moveable wall can be spontaneously arranged as a room divider and acoustic partition to absorb sound and establish privacy or to create a striking backdrop for an event or performance. As a modular system belonging to the molo soft collection, each softwall + softblock has magnetic end panels that connect these flexible building blocks to create longer partitions and immersive, sculptural installations.
The walls are a new building material made from layers of textile structured with flexible honeycomb geometry. They relinquish notions of rigid space-making in favour of sustainable design that accommodates change over time and encourages responsible material use.
Recognized for innovation and its elegant sculptural simplicity, softwall is in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York and won the prestigious Danish INDEX Award for Design to Improve Life.

colour:
white textile, made to order for molo, is a translucent bright white that has an impressive colour consistency over time.
black textile has an opaque sheen reminiscent of charred wood that highlights the subtle pattern of its fibres. For a nuanced tone-on-tone effect, pair black textile with the deep saturated flat black of paper softwall + softblock.
aluminum textile is micro-coated with the actual metal, creating a lively yet soft range of reflected light and shadow across the pleated surface of the folding partitions.
custom colour partitions are also available
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 and its paper sibling are 100% recyclable; both have been welcomed into Google Portico’s catalogue of healthy building materials.
portable folding wall:
The honeycomb geometry and soft yet resiliant material allows softwall to flex and curve, creating straight angular walls or organic flowing spaces.
The walls easily flat-pack for portability and storage, expanding up to 15 feet (4.5 meters) or any length between.
walls with magnetic connectors:
The final layer of softwall + softblock is a multifunctional magnetic panel that folds vertically on itself to simultaneously provide stability and sculptural harmony as the rhythm of vertical lines follows the rounded end uninterrupted.
The concealed magnets in the end panels also connect multiple walls and blocks to one another to create any length desired, or can be used to anchor the elements to any solid wall, cabinet or column that is ferrous steel or faced with the steel strip accessory available from molo.
acoustic partition:
Freestanding and completely flexible acoustic panels, the internal honeycomb structure and pleated surfaces of softwall + softblock break up reflected sound and provide acoustic absorption, enhancing speech clarity and creating acoustically calm rooms.

optional accessories:
LED:
Optional LED ribbons wind through the honeycomb cells to transform white textile softwall into an expressive, luminous space partition.
felt handle + anchor strip:
The optional steel strip accessory is powder-coated flat white and anchors the magnetic end panel of softwall to any solid surface. When paired with a felt handle, it creates a sliding door evocative of shōji.
hook for softwall:
For storage or cleaning, a stainless steel hook can be used to hang compressed paper or textile softwalls from a solid wall or cabinet.

Stephanie Forsythe
Canada
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.
