Low: Everything is Lower Than Expected

A space where all furniture is deliberately lowered. The sofa seat is only thirty-five centimeters from the ground, and the total height of the backrest does not exceed seventy centimeters; the coffee table is almost flush with the floor; the side cabinet is only knee-high; even the center of gravity of the lighting is very low—the lampshade of the floor lamp is near the eye level when seated, not standing. Because all horizontal lines are lowered, the line of sight is open after a person sits down, and one unconsciously wants to slide further down; the large blank wall space above makes the room appear tall. The people in the picture are in a semi-reclined posture. Several cushions are placed directly on the rug, with someone sitting on the floor leaning against the sofa. Avoid: using standard height sofas and high-back chairs, adding tall cabinets and high-legged furniture, hanging paintings at standing eye level, making furniture proportions slender and tall.

一個所有家具都刻意壓低的空間。沙發的座面離地僅三十五公分、椅背總高不超過七十公分;茶几幾乎貼地;邊櫃只到膝蓋高;連燈具的重心都很低——落地燈的燈罩在坐姿的視線附近而不是站姿。因為所有的水平線都被壓低,人坐下之後視線是開闊的,而且會不自覺地想更往下滑;上方大片的牆面留白讓空間顯得高。畫面中的人是半躺的姿態。地毯上直接放著幾個坐墊,有人坐在地上靠著沙發。避免:使用標準高度的沙發與高背座椅、加入高櫃與高腳家具、把掛畫掛在站姿的視線高度、讓家具的比例變得瘦高。
