Modern Zen Study: One Desk and One Light

A modern Zen-style study. The desk is a long, light-colored solid wood table, placed against a wall or facing a window, with a completely flat surface, small chamfered edges on all four sides, and no drawers underneath. The seating is a low wooden chair or directly on the raised platform. One entire wall is a wooden storage unit, the same color as the wall, with flush, handleless doors, so all books are hidden and not visible. The other wall is completely blank. A horizontally long high window brings in light, forming a distinct light spot on the tabletop. On the table are only an inkstone, a brush, and a stack of paper. The floor is light-colored wood. No visible light fixtures are present in the entire room. Avoid: using open bookshelves that expose books, adding office chairs and modern equipment, adding decorations to the walls, using uniform ceiling lighting.

一間現代禪風的書房。書桌是一張淺色實木的長案,靠牆或面窗放置,桌面完全平整、四邊倒小角、下方沒有抽屜。座椅是一張低矮的木椅或直接坐在架高的平台上。一整面牆是與牆同色的木作收納,門片齊平無把手,書全部收在裡面看不見。另一面牆完全留白。一道橫長的高窗把光帶進來,在桌面上形成一塊明確的光斑。桌上只有硯、筆與一疊紙。地面是淺色木。全室沒有可見的燈具。避免:使用開放的書架讓書外露、加入辦公椅與現代設備、在牆上加掛裝飾、使用天花的均勻照明。
