White Tiles and White Tiled Stove

A traditional Nordic tiled fireplace. It is a cylindrical or square pillar-shaped volume, two and a half meters high, reaching from the floor almost to the ceiling. Its surface is covered with white glazed ceramic tiles, each with slight variations in glaze color and subtle crazing, with fine and regular joints. Below the stove is a small, black cast-iron stove door, the only dark element; above, it gradually tapers and is finished with simple moldings. The principle of this stove is to store heat in heavy clay, allowing it to radiate heat for over ten hours after burning. It stands in the corner of the room, like a piece of architecture rather than equipment. The surroundings are white walls and light wooden floors. Avoid: using modern metal fireplaces and built-in designs, making the stove a small decoration, using high-chroma painted tiles, making the stove body blend seamlessly with the wall.

一座北歐傳統的瓷磚壁爐。它是一個高達兩米五的圓筒或方柱形量體,從地面直達接近天花,表面貼滿白色的釉面瓷磚,每一塊的釉色略有深淺與細微的開片,接縫細而規整。爐的下方有一個小小的鑄鐵爐門,黑色,是唯一的深色元素;上方逐漸收窄並有簡單的線腳收頭。這種爐的原理是以厚重的陶土蓄熱,燒完之後可以持續散熱十幾個小時。它站在房間的角落,像一件建築而不是設備。周邊是白牆與淺木地板。避免:使用現代的金屬壁爐與嵌牆式設計、把爐做成矮小的裝飾、使用高彩度的彩繪瓷磚、讓爐體與牆面融為一體。
