The Origin of Art Deco: Paris in 1925

An interior with 1920s-1930s vocabulary. The space simultaneously features two things: the geometric order of the machine age, and the ultimate refinement of craftsmanship. Walls and furniture have regularly repeating fan shapes, stepped setbacks, and radial lines; but every line is brass inlay, every veneer is hand-pieced, and every corner is hand-ground by a master. It is a splendor designed to showcase national power and industrial achievement. Avoid: adding organic twisted plant curves, using Victorian intricate carvings, making the space feel like country or vintage雜貨, using rough and imprecise handmade details.

一個一九二〇到三〇年代語彙的室內。空間同時具備兩件事:機械時代的幾何秩序,以及手工藝的極致精緻。牆面與家具上有規則重複的扇形、階梯狀退縮與放射線;但每一道線都是黃銅鑲嵌、每一片木皮都是手工拼貼、每一個轉角都是師傅磨出來的。它是為了展示國力與工業成就而設計的華麗。避免:加入有機扭曲的植物曲線、使用維多利亞時期的繁複雕花、把空間做成鄉村與復古雜貨的感覺、使用粗糙與手作不精確的細節。
