Puffed Up: Thickest in the Middle, Tapering at the Edges

A volume with a bulging surface. Its sides are not flat but a gently outward-curving arc, with the greatest thickness at the center, gradually tapering towards the top, bottom, and sides; it looks as if it has been pushed out from within, or like a risen dough. Backrests, armrests, cabinet doors, and tabletops are all treated with the same logic. The surface has no indentations or grooves. Avoid: making the surface flat panels, adding concave grooves and dividing lines, having consistent thickness from beginning to end, using inwardly curving concave surfaces.

一個表面往外鼓的量體。它的側面不是平的而是一道緩緩外凸的弧,中央的厚度最大,往上下與左右逐漸收攏;看起來像被從內部撐開,或像一塊發起來的麵團。靠背、扶手、櫃門與檯面都用同樣的邏輯處理。表面沒有任何內凹與溝槽。避免:把表面做成平的板材、加入內凹的溝槽與分割線、讓厚度從頭到尾一致、使用向內收的凹弧面。
