Little Houses Sensory Play Space Divider

Little Houses Sensory Play Space Divider is an innovative modular space divider designed specifically for early childhood learning environments, created by Lithuanian designer Neringa Orlenok. This sophisticated piece of educational furniture represents a significant advancement in sensory play equipment, featuring a thoughtfully engineered system of five rotating panels that can be adjusted through 330 degrees and fold flat when not in use. The design incorporates 685 precisely crafted holes distributed across its panels, serving both functional and aesthetic purposes, with larger openings representing abstract windows and doors, while smaller perforations facilitate various sensory activities and contribute to the overall lightness of the structure. Constructed from laminated plywood using CNC milling technology, each hole is meticulously hand-finished to ensure a pleasant tactile experience. The divider, measuring 2622mm in width, 15mm in depth, and 894mm in height, employs a specially designed hinge system that enables seamless panel movement while maintaining a minimalist aesthetic. This Gold A' Design Award-winning creation draws inspiration from children's natural inclination to create personal spaces, translating this universal behavior into a structured yet flexible learning tool. The design excels in developing multiple developmental areas including sensory skills, fine motor coordination, self-expression, imagination, and communication abilities. Its modular nature allows for various spatial configurations, making it adaptable to different educational settings while maintaining its core function as a tool for creative development. The minimalist and abstract design approach deliberately provides a neutral canvas that encourages young minds to engage in imaginative play and sensory exploration, while its durability and thoughtful construction ensure long-term educational value in child-centered environments.
