Natural Stone Edges: The Uncut Piece

A stone element that retains its natural shape. It could be a large stone used as a side table, a slab of stone serving as a countertop, or a basin carved from a single block of stone. The outer edges of the stone are not cut straight, retaining natural fracture surfaces and weathered irregularities, with only the functional surface polished smooth; thus, the same object simultaneously features rough original surfaces and smooth processed surfaces, with an irregular boundary between them. The stone is warm limestone or grayish granite, in beige or light gray, with natural pores, mineral flecks, and stratification on its surface. It is placed alone on a plain floor, with ample white space around it. Light strikes it at a grazing angle. Avoid: cutting the stone into regular blocks, polishing all surfaces smooth, using high-chroma stone, adding metal supports and bases.

一件保留自然形狀的石材元素。它可能是一塊當作邊几的大石、一段作為檯面的石板、或一個由整塊石頭挖出的面盆。石材的外緣沒有被切齊,保留了自然的斷裂面與風化的凹凸,只有使用的那一面被磨平;因此同一件物件上同時有粗糙的原始面與光滑的加工面,兩者的界線是不規則的。石材是溫暖的石灰岩或帶灰的花崗岩,顏色是米黃或淺灰,表面有天然的孔洞、礦物斑點與層理。它被單獨放在素色的地面上,周邊留白。光以掠射角度打過來。避免:把石材切割成規則的方塊、將所有表面都磨平、使用高彩度的石材、加入金屬支架與底座。
