Italian Modernism · Study: Thin Steel Frame Bookshelf

An Italian modernist study. An entire wall is composed of a bookshelf made of extremely thin solid steel rods extending from floor to ceiling. The shelves are thin wooden boards, suspended between the rods, appearing to float in the air due to the minimal support. Books and a small number of ceramics and glass objects are scattered on the shelves. The desk is a long table with a marble top and slender brass legs, on which sits an adjustable-arm brass desk lamp and a saddle leather desk pad. The seating is a leather and walnut armchair. The walls are plain white stucco, and the floor is herringbone wood flooring. A chaise lounge is placed in front of the window. Lighting consists of the desk lamp and a floor lamp. Avoid: using heavy wooden bookshelves, making the shelves thick and bulky, adding closed cabinet doors, using bright ceiling lighting.

一間義大利現代主義的書房。一整面牆是由極細的實心鋼桿從地面頂到天花構成的書架,層板是薄薄的木板,懸掛在桿件之間,因為支撐極細,整組書架看起來像浮在空中。書與少量的陶器、玻璃器物錯落地放在層板上。書桌是一張大理石桌面配黃銅細腳的長桌,桌上有一盞可調臂的黃銅檯燈與一個馬鞍皮的桌墊。座椅是皮革與胡桃木的扶手椅。牆面是素白的灰泥,地面是人字拼木地板。窗前有一張躺椅。照明是檯燈與一盞落地燈。避免:使用厚重的木質書櫃、把層板做得厚重、加入封閉的櫃門、使用明亮的天花照明。
