Liquid Feel: Metal Looks Like It's Flowing

A metallic surface that looks like liquid. Stainless steel sheets are pressed or hammered into irregular, slow undulations, like a water surface rippled by wind; after polishing, these undulations distort reflected images into flowing shapes, and light is stretched into curved bright bands. As one moves from different angles, the reflection patterns change accordingly. Avoid: using perfectly flat metal sheets, making the undulations into regular wave patterns, using a matte finish to eliminate reflections, making the undulations too dramatic, turning them into wrinkles.

一面看起來像液體的金屬表面。不鏽鋼板被壓製或敲打出不規則的緩慢起伏,像水面被風吹過;拋光之後,這些起伏讓反射的影像被扭曲成流動的形狀,光在上面拉成一道道彎曲的亮帶。從不同角度移動時,反射的圖案會跟著改變。避免:使用完全平整的金屬板、把起伏做成規則的波浪紋、使用霧面處理讓反射消失、讓起伏過於劇烈變成皺褶。
