This soundproof whiteboard is the social distancing partition you want in your office! - Yanko Design

When I recollect of a whiteboard, I imagine a rectangular drawing space framed past painted steel or aluminum: a purely utilitarian blueprint. I don't imagine whiteboards as practical and decorative pieces for an office space. That is what makes the OMI whiteboard room divider unique: information technology reimagines what an function partition tin exist.

Several design elements deviate from what we expect from a whiteboard or a room divider. Commencement, its frame uses forest instead of gray or blackness material, which normally blends into the background. In dissimilarity, the OMI'south frame is its about noticeable characteristic — more so than the whiteboard itself. It looks thicker and heavier than most whiteboards, but the wheels make it easy to maneuver through a room. The individual parts likewise look easy to dismantle and reassemble, adding to the production's mobility.

The OMI's shape is also quite unusual, resembling a total-length mirror more than a whiteboard. Its frame is quite bulky, not the near modernistic or sleek blueprint, but I call up it makes the most of its build by including sound-absorbent pads and storage bins underneath the whiteboard. This shape might exist the all-time design choice because its thick wooden frame, merely it also limits the available drawing space.

Overall, the critiques mentioned higher up are minor. The OMI room divider isn't trying to be the most utilitarian option, but a happy medium between looks and practicality. I imagine this product as a homey cubicle divider for an open-role, something to brighten up your workspace or classroom.
