Vertical Bundles: Elongating the Room

An Art Deco wall composed of vertical lines. The wall has several sets of parallel vertical fine lines, each set consisting of three to five lines of different widths arranged side by side, extending from the skirting board all the way to the ceiling cornice; the lines are brass inlays or wooden grooves, only a few millimeters deep. These line bundles are repeated at regular intervals, emphasizing the height of the room. Avoid: using horizontal lines instead of vertical lines, irregular spacing of line bundles, making the lines thick to become obvious columns, letting the line bundles interrupt midway and not reach the top.

一面以垂直線條構成的裝飾藝術牆。牆面上有數組平行的垂直細線,每一組由三到五道不同寬度的線並排組成,從踢腳一路延伸到天花的簷口;線是黃銅的鑲嵌或是木作的凹槽,深度只有幾公釐。這些線束以規則的間距重複,強調房間的高度。避免:使用水平線取代垂直線、讓線束的間距不規則、把線做粗變成明顯的柱、讓線束在中途中斷不到頂。
