Kuramata Shiro | Invisible Structures: Acrylic and Wire Mesh

A piece of furniture that challenges the visual weight of materials: it could be a chest of drawers, with a completely transparent acrylic body, embedding seemingly floating feathers or flowers; or an armchair, entirely welded from nickel-plated steel wire mesh, with fine mesh, so that the chair appears as a translucent mist from a distance, revealing its outline only upon closer inspection. In either case, the commonality is that the structure is deliberately dissolved—it's unclear what it stands on. The surface has no decoration. Dark background, side-backlighting making the edges of the transparent and mesh glow.
Avoid: exposed structure showing support, use of opaque materials, addition of wood or fabric, front flat lighting.

一件家具挑戰材料的視覺重量:可能是一個抽屜櫃,櫃體是完全透明的壓克力,裡面嵌著彷彿漂浮的羽毛或花;或是一張扶手椅,整張由鍍鎳的鋼絲網焊成,網眼細密,因此椅子從遠處看是一團半透明的霧,走近才看見它的輪廓。無論哪一件,共通點是結構被刻意消解——看不出它靠什麼站著。表面沒有任何裝飾。深色背景,側逆光讓透明與網的邊緣發亮。避免:結構外露看得出支撐、使用不透明材料、加入木質或布面、拍成正面平光。
