Provenance: Every Piece Can Be Accounted For

A space where every object has a story. The items in the scene appear to be of varied styles: an old Nordic chair, an Asian ceramic piece, a Middle Eastern woven rug, a contemporary sculpture, and several foreign books. They do not share a common style, but each has a history of acquisition—brought back from travels, gifted by friends, purchased at auction, or directly traded with an artist. Three things allow them to coexist: their colors are all within a low-saturation, natural palette; each piece shows traces of handcraft or age; and they are arranged with sufficient spacing to allow each to be seen individually. This is completely different from a complete set of furnishings bought all at once. Avoid: using matching sets of furniture and decorative combinations, having objects with high-saturation, conflicting colors, densely stacking objects, using mass-produced replicas.

一個所有物件都有出處的空間。畫面中的東西看起來風格不一:一張北歐的老椅、一件亞洲的陶器、一條中東的織毯、一件當代的雕塑、幾本外文書。它們沒有共同的風格,但每一件都有取得的過程——旅行帶回、朋友所贈、拍賣購得、藝術家直接交易。能夠讓它們共處的是三件事:顏色都在低彩度的自然色範圍;每一件都有手工或時間的痕跡;以及配置時留出足夠的間距讓每一件被單獨看見。這與一次購足的成套佈置完全不同。避免:使用成套的家具與裝飾組合、讓物件的顏色高彩度而衝突、把物件密集堆放、使用量產的複製品。
