Mother-of-pearl, stained glass, and mosaic

A space with a few shimmering craft elements. A black lacquer cabinet inlaid with mother-of-pearl, a partition door with stained glass, a small mosaic-tiled countertop or niche. These highly decorative elements appear only once each, becoming highlights against a dark background. The details of the craftsmanship can withstand close inspection. Avoid: having mother-of-pearl and stained glass appear over large areas, covering an entire wall with mosaic, using printed imitations of inlaid patterns, or having so many highlights that they compete for attention.

一個有少量閃亮工藝的空間。一件螺鈿鑲嵌的黑漆櫃、一扇有彩色玻璃的隔門、一小塊馬賽克拼出的檯面或壁龕。這些高裝飾性的元素各只出現一處,在深色的背景裡成為亮點。工藝的細節經得起靠近看。避免:讓螺鈿與彩玻大面積出現、把馬賽克鋪滿整面牆、使用印刷仿冒的鑲嵌圖案、讓亮點多到彼此爭奪注意力。
