Woven rattan and bamboo: letting dark spaces breathe

A space where rattan weaving is incorporated into dark woodwork. The center of cabinet doors is inlaid with a piece of rattan mesh, chair backs and seats are woven with rattan strips, and lampshades are woven from thin bamboo. The light color and fine perforations of the rattan allow the heavy dark woodwork to breathe. The rattan weaving pattern is a regular square or hexagon. Avoid: making all surfaces solid wood and enclosed, using plastic imitation rattan, allowing the rattan color to be dyed dark and lose contrast, or having the rattan area be so large that it becomes the main feature.

一個在深色木作中夾入藤編的空間。櫃門的中央鑲一片藤編網、椅背與椅面用藤條編織、燈罩用細竹編成。藤的淺色與細密的孔洞讓沉重的深色木作有呼吸的地方。藤的編法是規則的方格或六角。避免:把所有面都做成實木封閉、使用塑膠仿藤、讓藤編的顏色被染成深色失去對比、藤的面積大到變成主角。
