Brushed vs. Mirror Finish

A detail where two metal finishes are juxtaposed. The same stainless steel is divided into two surfaces: a large area is mirror-polished, reflecting the entire room; a localized section features fine, vertical brushing, presenting a silky, soft luster with only a single bright band along the grain direction. Both have the same color, distinguished by their luster. The boundary is a precise straight line. Avoid: having equal proportions of the two finishes, randomly mixing them on the same surface, using different colored metals for contrast, or having a blurry boundary.

一處兩種金屬處理並置的細部。同一種不鏽鋼被分成兩種表面:大面積是鏡面拋光的,反射整個房間;局部的一段是細密的直向拉絲,呈現絲緞般的柔和光澤,只有沿著紋理方向的一道亮帶。兩者的顏色相同,靠光澤度區分。交界是一條精準的直線。避免:讓兩種處理的比例相同、在同一面上隨機混用、使用不同顏色的金屬做對比、讓交界模糊不清。
