Curved Cabinetry: Not a Flat Surface in Sight

A cabinet with entirely curved surfaces. Its front bulges outwards in an arc, its sides are also curved, and the edges of its top surface undulate; no flat surface can be found. The surface is covered with wood veneer marquetry or painted in a pale pastel color, with gilded scrollwork at the corners and edges. The legs are slender and curved. The drawer handles are gilded, curved pull rings. Avoid: using square, straight cabinets, making the surfaces flat, using simplified modern handles, making the cabinet a large and heavy volume.

一件表面全部彎曲的櫃體。它的正面向外鼓出成一道弧、側面同樣是曲面、頂面的邊緣起伏不平;找不到一個平的表面。表面貼著木皮拼花或漆成淡彩色,轉角與邊緣有貼金的捲飾。腿是細瘦的曲腿。抽屜的把手是貼金的曲線拉環。避免:使用方正平直的櫃體、讓表面是平的、使用簡化的現代把手、把櫃體做成大而穩重的量體。
