Naturalis Screens

WORDS Biddi Rorke IMAGES Studio Miru


Created by Sandalene Dale-Roberts and her team at Naturalis bespoke furniture, these restaurant screens make dining out during COVID-19 safer without compromising on style.

Slim-line, low-impact and eco-friendly, these minimal screens are designed to shield both restaurant staff and patrons during the current COVID-19 pandemic.

Designed by Sandalene Dale-Roberts, founder of Naturalis bespoke furniture, the dividers were born out of necessity – and, of course, her ability to innovate and find a good-looking solution to a design problem.

Sandalene’s husband, restauranteur extraordinaire Luke Dale-Roberts, has already employed them at The Pot Luck Club, one of his iconic venues in Cape Town. “Although dividers aren’t a government prerequisite, we wanted to make every effort to ensure the safety of our staff and guests,” Sandalene says.

Made from metal and gloss-sealed Supawood or frosted glass, the attractive screens can be tailormade for any space, including offices, schools and shops. “Hopefully after COVID-19 we will be able to use them throughout homes and studios as privacy screens,” Sandalene says of the moveable dividers. “In the meantime, they offer a sense of security without being intrusive.”
