Paired Table Lamps: The Symmetrical Set

A pair of identical table lamps. They are placed on either side of a low cabinet or bedside table, with identical height, shape, and shade, creating symmetry with the central artwork or bed; the shades are plain, straight fabric covers, and the bases are simple ceramic or metal cylinders. This is the most explicit symmetrical relationship in the room and represents the traditional half. Avoid: using two similar but not identical lamps, placing paired lamps asymmetrically, using intricately shaped lamp bases, having the two lamps at different heights.

一組完全相同的成對檯燈。它們放在矮櫃或床頭櫃的兩側,高度、造型與燈罩完全一致,與中央的作品或床構成對稱;燈罩是素色的直筒包布罩,燈座是簡單的陶或金屬圓柱。這是房間裡最明確的對稱關係,也是傳統那一半的代表。避免:使用兩盞相似但不相同的燈、把成對的燈不對稱擺放、使用造型繁複的燈座、讓兩盞燈的高度不一致。
