So Thin It's Almost Invisible: Lightness of Structure

A space characterized by extremely slender structural components. The bookshelf consists of several solid steel rods, less than two centimeters in diameter, extending from floor to ceiling, fixed by tension. The shelves are thin wooden boards or glass, suspended between the rods; because the supports are so slender, the entire bookshelf appears to float in the air, and the books seem to have no support. The chair frame is similarly made of thin steel tubes and thin wooden strips, with nodes connected by minimal hardware, and the seat is a thin woven or plywood panel. The table legs are slender cones. The visual weight of all furniture is minimized, making the space appear open and light. The walls are plain white plaster.
Avoid: Using heavy wooden frames, adding robust supports and bases, making the shelves thick and heavy, making the furniture appear stable and solid.

一個以極細的結構構件為特徵的空間。書架是由數根直徑不到兩公分的實心鋼桿從地面頂到天花,以張力固定,層板是薄薄的木板或玻璃,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,書本彷彿沒有依靠。椅子的框架同樣是細鋼管與細木條,節點以最小的五金連接,坐面是一片薄的編織或膠合板。桌子的腳是細長的圓錐。所有家具的視覺重量都被壓到最低,空間因此顯得空曠而輕盈。牆面是素白的灰泥。避免:使用厚重的木質框架、加入粗壯的支撐與底座、把層板做得厚重、讓家具顯得穩重敦實。
