The Boundary of Reproductions: Form Can Be Imitated, But Not Age

An eclectic space that honestly addresses authenticity. Contemporary reproductions of classic furniture are acceptable: they are clearly new, in perfect condition, and do not pretend to be old. Genuine old pieces retain their authentic wear and repairs. The image will not feature new items deliberately made to look old: no artificially sanded edges, no sprayed-on fake patinas, no distressed hardware. New is new, old is old. Avoid: using deliberately distressed antique-style furniture, spraying new items with fake patinas and cracks, using fake antique reproductions, or having everything uniformly distressed.

一個誠實面對真假的折衷空間。當代重製的經典家具是可以的:它明顯是新的、狀態完好、沒有假裝有年代。真正的老件則保留真實的磨損與修補。畫面裡不會出現刻意做舊的新品:沒有人工砂磨的邊角、沒有噴上去的假斑駁、沒有做舊的五金。新的就是新的,舊的就是舊的。避免:使用刻意做舊的仿古家具、把新品噴上假的斑駁與裂紋、使用仿製的假古董、讓所有東西都被統一做舊。
