Materials Should Show Their Origin

An earthy warm-toned space where materials clearly show their origin. Walls show the mixture of sand and earth, terracotta bricks show they are fired clay, pottery shows the spiral marks of hand-throwing, wood shows tree rings and knots, and linen shows plant fibers. Every material retains evidence of its natural origin, not covered by paint or veneer. Avoid: using laminates and veneers to imitate natural materials, using printed textures of imitation stone and wood, painting surfaces until the original material is unrecognizable, using completely homogeneous artificial materials.

一個材料都能追溯來源的大地暖調空間。牆是可以看出砂與土的混合、赤陶磚看得出是燒製的黏土、陶器看得出手拉坯的旋紋、木頭看得出樹的年輪與節、麻布看得出植物纖維。每一種材料都保留了它從自然來的證據,沒有被塗裝與貼皮掩蓋。避免:使用美耐板與貼皮模仿天然材、使用印刷紋理的仿石與仿木、把表面塗裝到看不出原材、使用完全均質的人造材料。
