In Pairs: Important Things Come in Twos

A French light luxury room where order is established by pairs. Important elements in the room are in pairs: a pair of identical built-in cabinets on either side of the fireplace, a pair of identical velvet armchairs, a pair of identical brass wall lamps, and a pair of candlesticks on the coffee table. They are symmetrically placed on either side of the central axis, at equal distances. The only unpaired items are the central sofa and fireplace. Avoid: using two similar but not identical items as a pair, placing paired objects asymmetrically, having no paired relationships in the room, making every single item into two, thus losing the center.

一個以成對建立秩序的法式輕奢房間。房間裡重要的元素都是兩個:壁爐兩側一對相同的嵌入櫃、一對相同的絲絨單椅、一對相同的黃銅壁燈、矮几上一對燭台。它們對稱地放在中軸的兩側,距離相等。唯一不成對的是中央的沙發與壁爐。避免:使用相似但不相同的兩件充當一對、把成對的物件不對稱擺放、讓房間裡沒有任何成對關係、把每一件東西都做成兩個失去中心。
