Mirror Stainless Steel: Reflections Clear but Distorted

A mirror-polished stainless steel wall. The surface is polished to near-mirror quality, clearly reflecting opposite lights and figures; however, due to slight internal stress in the sheet material, the reflected images have soft distortions and elongations, unlike the precise reflections of a glass mirror. There is a narrow black seam between panels, segmenting the reflections. The surface has a subtle cool gray tone. Avoid: using glass mirrors instead of metal, allowing obvious dents and waves on the surface, using matte and brushed finishes, making seams too wide to disrupt continuity.

一面鏡面拋光的不鏽鋼牆。表面被拋光到接近鏡子的程度,可以清楚反射對面的燈光與人影;但因為板材有輕微的內應力,反射的影像有柔和的扭曲與拉長,不像玻璃鏡那樣精準。板與板之間有一道細窄的黑色接縫,把反射切成幾段。表面帶著淺淺的冷灰色調。避免:使用玻璃鏡面取代金屬、讓表面出現明顯的凹陷與波浪、使用霧面與拉絲的處理、讓接縫過寬破壞連續。
