The Difference from the Space Age: One Was Then, the Other is Looking Back

A retro-futuristic interior that clearly looks back at the past rather than being set in it. The Space Age was a product of its time in the 1960s, brand new, shiny, and optimistic; here, things bear the marks of time: the chrome has subtle scratches and hazing, the white plastic casings have yellowed to beige, the vinyl surfaces have cracks, and the screen glass is dusty. These objects are displayed as collectibles in a contemporary space. Avoid: depicting all materials as brand new and flawless, using clean replicas of contemporary re-editions, making the space look like a newly completed show home, removing all signs of use.

一個明顯是回望而非身處其中的復古未來室內。太空時代是一九六〇年代當下的產品,全新、光亮、樂觀;這裡的東西則帶著時間的痕跡:鍍鉻已經有細微的刮痕與霧化、白色的塑膠外殼泛黃成米色、乙烯基的表面有裂紋、螢幕的玻璃有灰塵。這些物件被當成收藏擺在當代的空間裡。避免:把所有材料畫成全新無瑕、使用當代重製的乾淨復刻品、讓空間看起來像剛完工的樣品屋、去除所有的使用痕跡。
