Flexible Separation for Fractal Analytics Office
“The Kaynemaile screen provides a transparent separation and contrast between the ‘Experience Center’ (dark) and the open office area (light) as envisioned.”
—Shalinee Shah, LEED AP, Contextus
Fractal Analytics is one of the most prominent players in the Artificial Intelligence space. Fractal’s mission is to power every human decision within a company using the power of AI. Working to help the world’s most admired Fortune 500 companies and with offices in 13 countries, Fractal wanted to create an inspirational new space for their corporate headquarters in the One World Trade Center, New York building.
Part of the design—by Contextus—was to have a clear line of material separation between the "Experience Center" (used to display Fractal's capabilities) and the open office area. Kaynemaile was used to physically create this separation with a room-length folding screen in Obsidian Black which complimented Fractal's recent re-rebranding.
The folding screen allows greater functionality in the space as it partially blocks the light from the office area and windows creating a darker environment more suited to the media projections of the Experience Center. It can then be retracted when not in use to create a larger open plan workspace.
Our Kaynemaile folding screens provide the perfect, flexible solution for dividing spaces while keeping visual transparency and airflow high. With a low stack ratio the screen folds away discretely when not in use. Stainless steel armatures run the full length of the screen allowing it to fold and move easily. We use our own head track system and don’t need an intrusive bottom track.
With a wide colour range and great looking components Kaynemaile folding screens are an ideal solution for dividing a room.
