Design: Bentwood Box
Artist: Jessie Everson (Kwakwaka’wakw / Pentl’ach / K’omoks)
The Bentwood Box privacy screen, designed by Jessie Everson, reflects one of the most enduring and practical art forms of the Pacific Northwest. Traditionally crafted from a single plank of cedar, bentwood boxes were used to store and protect personal belongings, from food and water to ceremonial regalia and treasured heirlooms. They remain symbols of both daily life and cultural continuity, carrying stories and traditions across generations.
This bold design captures the strength, balance, and precision of the bentwood box, transforming it into a powerful modern feature. As a privacy screen, it creates a sense of protection and enclosure, echoing the box’s role as a container of what is valuable. As a standalone art piece, it stands as a striking reminder of heritage, resilience, and the safeguarding of memory.

Shipping Recommendation
If ordering large panels or delicate designs for long-distance shipping (screens are made and sent from Vancouver Island, BC), we highly recommend HDPE. The farther screens travel, the more handling is involved. HDPE is the strongest and most impact-resistant material available, making it the safest choice for long-distance transport.

Installation & Framing
If mounted outside, screens must be supported on all four sides to ensure stability and longevity.
For high-wind areas, proper framing is essential. Avoid the dado (groove) system when working with PVC. Instead, use the Sandwich method with the material of your choice:
- Frame with: 1”x1” to 1”x4” timber or a metal alternative
- Secure with: Ceramic-coated screws or an appropriate alternative to prevent movement
- Reinforce as needed for heavy-use or exposed areas
ACM and HDPE can be secured using dado techniques or bolts on all for corners.
