Difference from Southeast Asian Thai-Vietnamese: One is an old house, the other is a curated vocabulary

Two Vietnamese interiors juxtaposed. On one side, a local colonial old house: mottled light-colored louvers, worn floral tiles, casually placed rattan chairs and coarse pottery, everyday and weathered. On the other side, a modern Indochine style: dark solid wood with brass trim, a full-wall lacquer painting, a set of bamboo woven lamps, and a hotel-like finish. The former is how life leaves things, the latter is a vocabulary organized by the design industry. Avoid: making the modern Indochine look like a mottled old house, omitting the lacquer painting and lamps, having a rough finish, making the two indistinguishable.

兩個越南的室內並置。一邊是在地的殖民老宅:斑駁的淡色百葉、磨損的花磚、隨手擺放的藤椅與粗陶,日常而風化;另一邊是現代印度支那風:深色實木與黃銅收邊、一整面漆畫主牆、成組的竹編燈具、飯店般的完成度。前者是生活留下的樣子,後者是設計業整理出來的一套語彙。避免:把現代印度支那做成斑駁的老宅、讓漆畫與燈具缺席、完成度粗糙、把兩者畫得無法分辨。
