Multipurpose Cabinet: A whole wall of display shelves

An entire wall is a dark wooden display cabinet, with shelves of intentionally varied sizes and depths—some are only 150mm square for a single seal, others are up to 400mm deep for a larger object, arranged asymmetrically but rhythmically. Each compartment is independently backlit, with the light source hidden at the top edge of the compartment, washing downwards. Only one object is placed in each compartment, never two side-by-side. The types of objects are mixed: jade, porcelain, bronze, wood, stone, all from different eras and origins, but their scales complement each other. The surrounding walls are dark, with extremely low illumination, only the compartments glow. Avoid: making the compartments regular and equally divided, placing multiple objects in each compartment, lacking independent lighting within compartments, having objects of completely uniform type and scale.

一整面牆是深色木作的展示格,格子的大小與深度刻意不一——有的只有 150mm 見方放一枚印章,有的深達 400mm 放一件較大的器物,排列不對稱但有節奏。每一格獨立背光,光源藏在格子的上緣向下洗。格內只放一件,絕不並列兩件。物件的種類混雜:玉、瓷、銅、木、石,年代與產地都不同,但尺度彼此呼應。周邊的牆是深色的,照度極低,只有格子發亮。避免:格子做成規則的等分、每格放置多件物件、格內沒有獨立照明、物件種類與尺度完全一致。
