I'd like to see this done with some kind of climbing ivy or moss and trellises since the air scrubbing ability does not interest me much at all, and the loss of working space/increased footprint seems non-negligible.

EDIT: After searching around for a while, I discovered a few promising leads to make this happen. The first option is more of a wall mounted solution, but could be repurposed for separating a workspace: http://www.dirtt.net/public/products/breathe_2013.php It is also apparently very easy to train Ivy to climb up wires, assuming you have a lot of natural light, it seems like it would be possible to replicate something like this indoors: http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/look-modern-ivy-8702
