Books and Papers: The Only Allowed Clutter

A warm-toned minimalist space where books serve as traces of life. On a low table, a stack of four or five large-format books, the top one open; a small stack on the floor next to an armchair, with paper slips tucked in; on a shelf, some standing, some lying flat. The book covers are mostly plain, in beige, brown, and dark tones. These books are in a state of being read, not displayed, and are the only slightly messy items in the space. Avoid: arranging books neatly by color, using new, unopened decorative books, stuffing bookshelves full without gaps, adding brightly colored magazines and printed materials.

一個以書作為生活痕跡的暖調極簡空間。矮几上一疊四五本大開本的書,最上面一本是翻開的;單椅旁的地上一小疊,有紙條夾在其中;層板上幾本立著、幾本橫躺。書的封面顏色偏素,以米、褐與深色為主。這些書是被讀的狀態而不是陳列,是空間裡唯一略顯凌亂的東西。避免:把書按顏色排列整齊、使用全新未拆的裝飾書、把書架塞滿沒有空隙、加入色彩鮮豔的雜誌與印刷品。
