A folding screen is a portable room divider made of several panels connected by hinges. It can be used to create privacy, separate spaces, or enhance the decor of a room. Folding screens come in various materials, including wood, fabric, and metal, and can feature intricate designs or simple patterns. These screens have a long history, often associated with Asian art and culture, particularly in Japanese and Chinese traditions. They are commonly used in homes, offices, and events to provide flexible space management and can easily be moved or stored when not in use.
