The Origins of Art Nouveau: 1890-1910

An Art Nouveau interior from the turn of the century. Every element of the space is unified by the same organic curvilinear language: the plaster reliefs on the walls, the wrought iron railings, the wooden frames, the lead lines of the stained glass, all are the same lines translated from plants. This is not decoration applied to the surface, but rather the structure itself bending along with it. The overall impression is that of a work designed as a whole. Avoid: using geometric and symmetrical decorative motifs, treating decoration as patterns applied to the surface, mixing in furniture and elements from other eras, having a straight structure with only curved decoration.

一個世紀之交的新藝術室內。空間的每一個元素都被同一種有機的曲線語言統一:牆面的灰泥浮雕、鍛鐵的欄杆、木作的框、彩繪玻璃的鉛線,全部是同一種從植物轉譯而來的線條。這不是加在表面的裝飾,而是連結構本身都跟著彎曲。整體像是一件被整體設計過的作品。避免:使用幾何與對稱的裝飾語彙、把裝飾當成貼在表面的圖案、混入其他年代的家具與元素、讓結構是直的只有裝飾是彎的。
