Gold Used Only as a Single Line

An oriental luxury space where gold is minimized. The total area of gold in the entire room is less than one percent, and it is all in the form of lines: a two-millimeter antique bronze inlay line in a stone joint, a thin edge in a cabinet door seam, the frame of a lamp. These lines are the only reflective elements against the dark background, like a few strokes in the dark. There are no golden surfaces or blocks. Avoid: using gold leaf and large areas of gold decoration, making the lines wide to become prominent gold borders, using glossy electroplated gold, stacking gold elements in multiple locations.

一個金色被壓到最低的東方奢華空間。整個房間裡金色的總面積不到百分之一,而且全部是線的形式:石材分割縫裡一道兩公釐的古銅嵌線、櫃體門縫的一條細邊、一盞燈的骨架。這些線在深色的背景上是唯一會反光的東西,像暗處的幾筆。沒有任何金色的面與塊。避免:使用金箔與大面積的金色裝飾、把線做寬變成明顯的金邊、使用亮面電鍍的金色、在多個位置堆疊金色元素。
