Honed, not polished: Stone should absorb light

A honed stone surface. The surface is finely ground but not polished, presenting a silky, low-luster finish: light softly diffuses across it, with no harsh highlights or clear reflections, allowing the stone's fine particles and texture to be seen. It feels smooth but not slippery to the touch. All stone in the same space, including countertops, floors, and walls, receives this treatment. Avoid: using polished, mirror-finish stone; mixing polished and matte finishes; using high-gloss surfaces that reflect the environment; using rough bush-hammered or flamed finishes indoors.

一片珩磨處理的石材表面。表面經過細緻的研磨但沒有拋光,呈現絲緞般的低光澤:光落在上面被柔和地散開,沒有刺眼的高光與清晰的倒影,可以看到石材本身細密的顆粒與紋理。摸起來是平滑但不滑溜的。同一個空間裡的所有石材都是這種處理,包括檯面、地面與牆面。避免:使用拋光鏡面的石材、混用拋光與霧面兩種加工、使用會反射環境的高光澤表面、使用粗糙的荔枝面與燒面在室內。
