Eastern Luxury Isn't About Adding More Patterns

A contemporary luxury interior with an Eastern aesthetic. Luxury comes not from the quantity of decoration, but from the quality of materials and precision of craftsmanship: an entire wall of book-matched dark stone, a knot-free straight-grain hardwood panel, a hand-lacquered countertop, a single celadon piece displayed alone. Eastern elements are only in two or three places, and they are about form and proportion, not applied patterns. Walls are largely left blank. Avoid: filling walls and furniture with meander patterns, cloud patterns, and carvings, using gold decorative lines and totems, treating traditional elements as stacked veneers, making the space look like a Chinese restaurant set.

一個具有東方氣質的當代奢華室內。奢華不是來自裝飾的數量,而是來自材料的等級與工法的精度:一整面書本對花的深色石材、一片沒有節疤的直紋硬木、一道手工大漆的檯面、一件單獨陳列的青瓷。東方的元素只有兩三處,而且是形體與比例上的,不是貼上去的紋樣。牆面大片留白。避免:在牆面與家具上加滿回紋、雲紋與雕花、使用金色的裝飾線與圖騰、把傳統元素當成貼皮堆砌、讓空間變成中式餐廳的佈景。
