Fifties Sampling: Thin Legs, Organic Shells, and Light Wood

A contemporary living room, with furniture vocabulary sampled from the 1950s. The sofa and armchairs have slender, tapered solid wood legs, slightly splayed outwards, with high ground clearance, allowing the floor to extend continuously beneath the furniture; the backrest and seat are an integrally formed organic shell, with soft curves and no sharp edges. The wood is light-colored teak and ash, thinly oiled, with clear grain. The upholstery is wool fabric with a distinct weave, in mustard yellow and grey-blue. The space itself is contemporary: white walls, concrete floor, hidden lighting, without any period decorative moldings. Thus, the forms of the vintage furniture are seen independently against a clean background. Avoid: making the space also retro in appearance, using dark wood and heavy furniture, adding stout square legs, adding moldings and wallpaper to the walls.

一間當代的客廳,家具語彙取樣自一九五〇年代。沙發與單椅的椅腳是纖細的錐形實木,略微向外傾斜,離地高度大,讓地板在家具下方連續延伸;椅背與座面是一體成型的有機殼體,曲面柔和沒有稜角。木料是淺色的柚木與白蠟木,只上薄油,紋理清楚。面料是織紋明顯的羊毛布,顏色是芥末黃與灰藍。空間本身是當代的:白牆、水泥地、隱藏式照明,沒有任何年代的裝飾線板。因此老家具的形體在乾淨的背景中被獨立地看見。避免:把空間也做成復古樣貌、使用深色的木料與厚重的家具、加入粗壯的方形椅腳、把牆面加上線板與壁紙。
