Washed Linen: Wrinkles Are the Point

A set of stonewashed linen textiles. The fabric has been repeatedly washed and kneaded, completely losing its stiffness, becoming soft and slightly velvety in texture; its surface is covered with fine, natural wrinkles that will not flatten no matter how it's arranged, and this is precisely its intended look. The colors are undyed or low-saturation natural tones—ivory, oatmeal, greige, faded indigo—and appear a shade lighter than new due to washing. It is used extensively for bedding, sofa covers, curtains, and throw pillows. In the image, the bedsheets show obvious wrinkles and pressure marks, and the curtains hang in loose folds. Avoid: depicting the fabric as flat and crisp, using glossy satin and silk, dyeing colors to high saturation, using stiff textures that require ironing.

一組水洗處理的亞麻織品。布料經過反覆水洗與揉搓,纖維的硬挺完全消失,質地變得柔軟而略帶絨感;表面佈滿細密而自然的皺褶,無論怎麼整理都不會平整,而這正是它的樣子。顏色是未染或低彩度的自然色——象牙、燕麥、灰褐、褪過的靛藍,並且因為洗過而比新品淡一階。它被用在寢具、沙發套、窗簾與抱枕上,面積大。畫面中床單有明顯的皺與被壓過的痕跡,窗簾垂下時形成鬆散的褶。避免:把布料畫成平整無皺的挺括狀態、使用有光澤的緞面與絲、把顏色染成高彩度、使用需要熨燙的硬挺質地。
