Wrought Iron Window Grille: Removed and Used as an Indoor Screen

An old iron window grille, removed and cleaned, is used as a partition indoors: deep dark green or rust-red iron bars form geometric patterns with arcs, square frames, and diagonals, some resembling mountains, others abstract flowers and plants. The weld points and unevenness from hand-bending are clearly visible. The surface has been derusted and coated with a matte protective lacquer, preserving its original mottled layers. It is placed between the living room and dining room, or hung on the wall as decoration, with light from another space shining through from behind, casting clear patterned shadows of the iron bars on the floor and walls. The surrounding furniture is simple and modern. Avoid: depicting the iron window grille as a brand new, perfectly uniform mass-produced item, using high-chroma bright baked enamel, reinstalling it on a window, eliminating the handmade unevenness and rust marks of the ironwork.

室內的一片舊鐵窗花被拆下、清理後當成隔屏使用:深墨綠或鐵鏽紅的鐵條,以圓弧、方框與對角線組成幾何圖案,有的是山形、有的是花草的抽象化,焊點與手工彎折的不勻清楚可見。表面經過除鏽並上了霧面的保護漆,保留原本的斑駁層次。它被立在客廳與餐廳之間,或掛在牆上當成裝飾,後方透出另一個空間的光,鐵條在地板與牆面上投下清晰的圖案陰影。周邊是簡潔的現代家具。避免:把鐵窗花畫成全新工整的量產品、使用高彩度的鮮豔烤漆、把它裝回窗戶上、消除鐵件的手工不勻與鏽痕。
