Humanistic Atmosphere · Study: Full Wall of Books and a Desk

A study with a humanistic and grand atmosphere. A full wall of dark solid wood bookshelves extends from floor to ceiling. The proportion of frames and shelves is carefully considered, with large divisions rather than dense small ones. It is filled with books of various ages, leaving about 20% empty space for a few objects. In the center is a four-meter-long solid wood desk, facing the bookshelves rather than the wall. On the desk are traditional writing tools—an inkstone, a brush rest, Xuan paper, and paperweights—as well as a stack of open books. The chair is a simplified Quanyi (armchair). On the side is a horizontal window, with light obliquely entering and falling on the desktop. The other wall is completely blank, with only a small ink painting hanging. The flooring is large-format stone slabs. Lighting consists of a bronze desk lamp on the table and shelf lights in the bookshelves. Avoid: organizing the bookshelves into minimalist display cabinets, adding ceiling downlights and pendant lights, depicting the desktop as empty, adding numerous decorative items.

一間人文大氣的書房。一整面深色實木書架從地做到天花,框與板的比例經過推敲,分割是大格而不是密集小格,塞滿了各種年代的書,留出約兩成的空隙放著幾件器物。中央是一張長四米的實木案桌,面對書架而不是面壁;桌上有文房——硯、筆擱、宣紙與鎮紙,以及一疊攤開的書。座椅是簡化的圈椅。側面是一道橫幅的窗,光斜射進來落在桌面上。另一面牆完全留白,只掛一幅小幅的水墨。地坪是石材大板。照明是桌面的一盞銅製檯燈與書架的層板燈。避免:把書架整理成留白的展示櫃、加入天花嵌燈與吊燈、把桌面畫成空無一物、加入大量擺件。
