Vertical grain preferred: large areas without cathedrals

A wall made with straight-grain wood veneer. The wood grain consists of straight, parallel fine lines, extending from the floor all the way up to the ceiling, without any chevron or curved patterns; the entire wall thus reads as quiet and directional. Chevron patterns are reserved for a single piece of furniture or a cabinet door as a focal point, in a very small area. The wood veneer is arranged by sequentially cutting and aligning pieces, so the grain is continuous across each door panel. Avoid: using chevron patterns on large wall surfaces, allowing the direction of the wood grain to change on the same interface, using book-matching to create patterns, and allowing the grain of adjacent veneers to be noticeably discontinuous.

一面用直紋木皮做的牆。木紋是筆直平行的細線,從地板一路往上到天花,沒有任何山形與弧形的圖案;整面牆因此讀起來是安靜的、有方向的。山形紋只留給一件家具或一片櫃門當作焦點,面積很小。木皮的排列是依序取下順著拼的,紋理連續穿過每一片門板。避免:在大面積牆面使用山形紋、讓木紋的方向在同一個界面上改變、使用對開鏡像拼法製造圖案、讓相鄰木皮的紋理明顯不連續。
