Rattan Chair: Grandpa's Still in Use

An old rattan chair that has been used for many years: the frame is made of dark brown solid wood or thick rattan, and the backrest and seat are hand-woven rattan, in a regular square or herringbone pattern. Due to years of use, the color of the rattan has deepened from its original light beige to a honey color. The deepest indentation and darkest color are in the center of the seat, and several rattan strands have come loose or broken and have been re-wrapped and repaired. The front ends of the armrests are polished smooth from hand friction. A plain thin cushion is placed on the chair. The chair is placed by a window or under a veranda, with a small side table and a cup of tea nearby. The light is soft afternoon sunlight. Avoid: depicting the rattan chair as brand new and unused, using bleached light-colored new rattan, eliminating signs of wear and repair, adding modern design-style shapes.

一張使用多年的老藤椅:框架是深褐色的實木或粗藤,椅背與座面是手工編織的藤條,編法是規律的方格或人字紋。因為長年使用,藤的顏色從原本的淺米黃深化為蜜糖色,坐面中央的凹陷最深、顏色也最深,幾處藤條已經鬆脫或斷裂並被重新纏繞修補過,扶手前端被手摩擦得光亮。椅上放著一個素色的薄坐墊。椅子擺在窗邊或騎樓下,旁邊是一張小茶几與一杯茶。光是柔和的午後日光。避免:把藤椅畫成全新未使用、使用漂白過的淺色新藤、消除磨損與修補的痕跡、加入現代設計感的造型。
