Lighting fixtures as art: one per room

A Japanese light luxury lamp as a focal point in the space. The form is minimalist: a washi-paper-covered cylinder, a hand-blown glass oval, or a bowl folded from a thin copper plate. But the craftsmanship is evident: the clear fiber direction of the paper, the handmade uneven thickness of the glass, the hand-folded edges of the copper plate. It is the only object with a distinct form in this room; all other lighting is concealed. Avoid: placing multiple decorative lamps in the same space, using crystal chandeliers with intricate decorations, using mechanical-looking mass-produced lamps, making the main lamp too large and overpowering the room's proportions.

一盞作為空間焦點的日式輕奢燈具。形體極簡:一個和紙包覆的圓柱、一個手吹玻璃的橢圓、一片薄銅板折成的碗。但工藝明顯:紙的纖維走向清楚、玻璃有手工的厚薄不勻、銅板的邊緣是手工折出的。它是這個房間裡唯一造型明確的物件,其餘的照明都是隱藏的。避免:在同一空間放置多盞造型燈具、使用有繁複裝飾的水晶燈、使用機械感的量產燈具、把主燈做得過大搶走空間的比例。
