Lazy Style・Media Corner: The Angle for Lying Down

An audio-visual area designed for semi-reclined viewing. The screen is mounted lower than usual—its center approximately ten degrees below the eye level of a seated person—because users are mostly semi-reclined rather than sitting upright, so this height prevents craning the neck when lying down. In front is a modular sofa with extremely deep seating, allowing for full recline; there are also several large floor cushions. Next to each position, there is a surface large enough to hold a cup. Lighting consists only of a very weak indirect light from the back wall and a low lamp, to avoid screen glare. The walls and ceiling are dark, absorbing both light and sound. Cables and equipment are hidden within cabinets, with only the speakers exposed. Avoid: mounting the screen at a normal height, using sofas that require sitting upright, adding bright lighting that causes glare, having no place to put a cup next to the seating.

一個為半躺觀看設計的影音區。螢幕的安裝高度比一般更低——中心約在坐姿視線的下方十度,因為使用者多半是半躺而不是端坐,這個高度躺著看才不會仰頭。前方是一組進深極大的模組沙發,可以完全躺平;地上另有幾個大坐墊。旁邊每一個位置都有放得下杯子的檯面。照明只有一道極弱的背牆間接光與一盞矮燈,避免螢幕反光。牆面與天花是深色的,吸光也吸音。線材與設備藏在櫃體內,只有喇叭外露。避免:把螢幕裝在一般的高度、使用需要端坐的沙發、加入明亮的照明造成反光、讓座位旁沒有放杯子的地方。
