Adjustable Mechanisms: Furniture That Moves

A set of Italian modern furniture with adjustable mechanisms. A sofa's backrest can be adjusted in angle via a brass lever on the side, from an upright sitting position all the way to a flat daybed; an armchair's headrest moves up and down on metal sliders; a floor lamp's arm is composed of several steel tubes and springs, allowing it to extend to any position in the room; a table's top can rotate and extend. These mechanisms are not hidden but deliberately displayed—exposed hinges, visible sliders, polished brass knobs and screws, becoming part of the furniture's design. Materials are leather, walnut, and brass. The same piece of furniture is juxtaposed in two states within the image. Avoid: hiding the mechanisms, using plastic modern hardware, making the furniture appear fixed and non-adjustable, using electric hidden mechanisms.

一組帶有可調整機構的義大利現代家具。一張沙發的椅背可以透過側邊的黃銅槓桿調整角度,從直立的坐姿一路放平成臥榻;一張扶手椅的頭枕以金屬滑軌上下移動;一盞落地燈的燈臂由數節鋼管與彈簧構成,可以伸展到房間的任何位置;一張桌子的桌面可以旋轉並延伸。這些機構不被隱藏,而是刻意展示——外露的鉸鏈、可見的滑軌、拋光的黃銅旋鈕與螺絲,成為家具造型的一部分。材料是皮革、胡桃木與黃銅。畫面中同一件家具以兩種狀態並置。避免:把機構隱藏起來、使用塑膠的現代五金、讓家具看起來固定不可調、使用電動的隱藏機構。
