Low backs and low heights: furniture making way for walls

A set of deliberately low-profile furniture. The sofa backrest height is only about 65 cm, and all coffee tables, side tables, and cabinets are below eye level. All furniture against the wall does not exceed 90 cm in height, leaving the wall above that height completely empty. The furniture colors are neutral oatmeal, taupe, and dark gray, with simple, unadorned forms. When a person sits down, their eye level is precisely aligned with the center of the artwork. Avoid: using high-back sofas and tall cabinets against the wall, allowing furniture colors and patterns to overpower the wall, adding carved or sculptural furniture, making storage cabinets ceiling-high and obscuring the wall.

一組刻意壓低的家具。沙發的椅背高度只到六十五公分左右,矮几、邊桌與櫃體全部低於視線;所有靠牆的家具都不超過九十公分高,牆面從那個高度以上全部是空的。家具的顏色是中性的燕麥、灰褐與深灰,形體簡單沒有裝飾。人坐下時視線正好與作品的中心齊平。避免:使用高背沙發與高櫃靠牆、讓家具的顏色與圖案搶過牆面、加入有雕刻與造型的家具、把收納櫃做到頂遮住牆。
