High-backed Chairs and Benches

A set of furniture with a strong vertical emphasis. The chair backs are tall and narrow, topped with pointed arches or small spires. The chair legs are square and straight, and the seats are made of leather or brocade. The side panels of the long bench are solid wood, with the upper edge carved into a pointed arch profile. The wood is dark, and the lines are rigid. Avoid: using curved cabriole legs and soft upholstered armrests, making the chair backs short and wide, using light-colored wood and glossy finishes, or making the furniture's silhouette rounded and soft.

一組垂直感強烈的家具。椅背高而窄,頂端做成尖拱或小尖塔的造型,椅腳是方形的直腿,座面是皮革或織錦。長凳的側板是整片木板,上緣雕出尖拱的輪廓。木色深,線條硬。避免:使用彎曲的曲腿與軟包扶手、把椅背做矮做寬、用淺色木材與亮面漆、讓家具的輪廓圓潤柔和。
