The Kōwhai screen is an innovative take on traditional curved screens. With inspiration taken from NZ native flora, the Kōwhai has inherent biophilic design features. The curves mirror the overlapping style of the Kōwhai flower, and the stitching carries the curve up to the top of the screen to strengthen the impression of overlapping segments. The wrap-around effect also adds privacy for the user.
The contrasting piping detail also allows designers to bring in subtle colour accents. Biophilia has proven to have a large impact on our health, productivity, and wellbeing, even supporting psychological restoration. “It helps explain why crackling fires and crashing waves captivate us; why a garden view can enhance our creativity; why shadows and heights instil fascination and fear; and why animal companionship and strolling through a park have restorative, healing effects”. If our contact with nature daily can have such a direct impact on our health and wellbeing, biophilia should therefore be an integral consideration within the design process.
The Kowhai screen has been cleverly designed so that the curved end pieces are removeable to reduce freight volumes and reduce our carbon footprint.

Workspaces so good you'll look forward to Monday mornings.
At Crestline, we believe the relationships people have with the office are fundamentally changing. How, where, and when people work is no longer uniform. There is no one size fits all and therefore no one furniture solution that suits every office and every culture. We create engaging spaces, so that people look forward to coming to work on Monday mornings.
For over 30 years Crestline has been listening to customers and designing office spaces for companies who want more. More options, more flexibility, more design. Over this time we have built a reputation for listening, for bringing ideas to life, for delivering. Over the next 30 years we want to see New Zealand furniture design celebrated on the world stage, ethically, sustainably and joyfully, not for the accolades but because of the impact it has on the people who use it every day.
Crestline; look forward to Monday mornings.
