Form Follows Function: Everything Has a Reason

An early modernist interior where all forms derive from function. The shape of the chair is for sitting, the height of the table is for working, the angle of the lamp is for illuminating a specific spot, and the size of the cabinet is for accommodating specific items. No element exists purely for aesthetic reasons. Shapes are therefore very simple: round tubes, flat panels, right angles, and perfect circles. Avoid: adding purely decorative moldings and trim, using elements that are sculptural but lack function, making furniture into sculptural forms, adding any patterns or motifs.

一個所有形式都來自功能的早期現代主義室內。椅子的形狀是為了坐、桌子的高度是為了工作、燈的角度是為了照亮特定的位置、櫃體的尺寸是為了容納特定的東西。沒有任何一個元素是為了好看而存在的。形狀因此都很單純:圓管、平板、直角與正圓。避免:加入純裝飾的線腳與飾板、使用有造型但無功能的元素、把家具做成雕塑感的形體、加入任何紋樣與圖案。
