Italian Modernism · Bathroom: Marble Bookmatching

An Italian modernist bathroom. The walls and floor are made of the same type of marble—a warm white variety with golden veins—laid seamlessly in large slabs, with the veining continuous at the wall-to-floor junction, and a book-matched pattern on the main wall, where the veins mirror each other to form a butterfly-like design. The washbasin is carved from a single block of the same stone, suspended from the wall, with a noticeable thickness. The fixtures are matte brass, with simple cylindrical shapes. The mirror is frameless and rectangular, with backlighting hidden behind it. The bathtub is a freestanding white cast iron, with clean lines. A plain cotton bath mat is on the floor. Lighting consists of backlighting behind the mirror and two brass wall sconces, soft and not dazzling. Avoid: using tiles and small-sized materials, breaking the marble veining at corners, using chrome and black fixtures, illuminating the space brightly and uniformly.

一間義大利現代主義的衛浴。牆面與地面是同一種大理石——暖白帶金脈的品種——大板無縫鋪設,脈絡在牆與地的轉角處連續,並在主牆採用書本式對花,脈絡以鏡像展開成蝴蝶的圖案。洗手檯是一整塊同材質的石材挖鑿而成,懸掛在牆上,厚度明顯。五金是霧面的黃銅,造型是簡潔的圓管。鏡子是無框的矩形,鏡後藏著背光。浴缸是獨立的白色鑄鐵,線條簡潔。地上鋪一張素色的棉質地墊。照明是鏡後背光與兩盞黃銅壁燈,柔和而不刺眼。避免:使用磁磚與小尺寸的材料、讓石材的脈絡在轉角處斷開、使用鍍鉻與黑色五金、把空間照得明亮通透。
