Paper and gauze: let light pass through two layers

A set of translucent materials that filter light twice. The window has a layer of sheer fabric, which first diffuses direct light. Inside the room, there is another sliding door or screen made of handmade paper, through which light is scattered again by the fibers, so the light reaching the deeper parts of the room is completely directionless. The lamp shades are also made of paper or fabric; when lit, the entire shade glows uniformly, with no visible internal bulb. The surface of the paper shows a fibrous mesh texture and cloud-like variations in light and shadow due to uneven thickness. These translucent layers ensure that the light in the space is always soft, with no direct rays. Avoid: using clear glass that allows direct light to enter, using single-layer filtration, making the paper surface uniform without fibrous texture, using exposed bulbs and point light sources.

一組讓光被過濾兩次的半透明材料。窗上是一層薄紗,把直射光先打散一次;室內另有一片手工紙糊的拉門或屏風,光穿過紙時再被纖維散射一次,因此落到房間深處的光已經完全沒有方向性。燈具的罩子同樣是紙或織品,點亮時整個罩體均勻發光,看不見內部的燈泡。紙的表面可以看見纖維的網狀紋理與厚薄不均造成的雲狀明暗。這些半透明的層讓空間的光始終是柔的,沒有任何一道是直接的。避免:使用清透的玻璃讓光直接進入、使用單層過濾、讓紙面均勻無纖維紋理、使用裸露的燈泡與點光源。
