Vitra | Collecting Contemporary and Classic: A Collage in the Same Space

A space deliberately juxtaposes furniture from different eras and designers: a 1950s molded plywood chair, an 1980s mass-produced plastic item, a contemporary designer's textile sofa, and an industrial-style steel shelving unit. Their eras, materials, and vocabularies differ, but what they have in common is that each piece is a product with a clear author and manufacturing judgment, rather than an anonymous mass. Colors are based on low chroma, punctuated by two or three saturated single items. The space itself is minimalist: white walls, concrete floor, large natural light. Avoid: using all furniture from the same era or series, making the color scheme completely uniform, adding generic furniture without a clear design vocabulary, over-decorating the space itself.

一個空間刻意把不同年代與作者的家具並置:一張五〇年代的模壓膠合板椅、一件八〇年代的塑料量產品、一張當代設計師的織品沙發,還有一件工業感的鋼構層架。它們的年代、材料與語彙都不同,但共通的是每一件都是有明確作者與製造判斷的產品,而不是無名的量體。顏色以低彩度為底,由兩三件飽和的單品打點。空間本身極簡:白牆、水泥地、大面自然光。避免:全部使用同一年代或同一系列的家具、配色做成完全統一、加入無明確設計語彙的通用家具、空間本身做過度裝修。
