Glass: The Sole Transparency and Refinement

A rustic detail where glass is used as a contrast. In a space full of rough materials, glass is the only smooth and transparent element: an unframed floor-to-ceiling glass panel, a clear glass partition for separation, a few thin-rimmed handmade glass cups. Its edges are precise, its surface perfect, creating the greatest contrast with the rough-sawn wood and dry-stacked stone next to it. Avoid: using colored or patterned glass, adding heavy glass frames, making the glass area too large losing the contrast, using frosted glass to weaken transparency.

一處使用玻璃作為對照的質樸細部。在滿是粗糙材料的空間裡,玻璃是唯一光滑透明的東西:一片無框的落地玻璃、一道分隔用的清玻璃隔屏、幾只薄口的手工玻璃杯。它的邊緣是精準的、表面是完美的,與旁邊的粗鋸木與乾砌石形成最大的反差。避免:使用有色玻璃與壓花玻璃、加入厚重的玻璃框、讓玻璃的面積過大失去對照、使用磨砂玻璃削弱透明度。
