Thin Tube Legs: Round Volumes Stand on Thin Supports

A Y2K furniture piece supported by thin steel tubes. A thick, rounded seat or tabletop rests on four chrome-plated circular tubes 1.5 centimeters in diameter. The tubes curve near the ground, ending in round plastic feet; the supports are so thin they appear barely able to hold the weight, making the main volume seem lighter. Avoid: using sturdy solid wood legs, making the supports square in cross-section, letting the volume rest directly on the floor, using supports of the same color as the main volume.

一件由細鋼管支撐的 Y2K 家具。厚實圓潤的座體或檯面架在四根直徑一點五公分的鍍鉻圓管上,管子在接近地面的地方彎成弧形,末端是圓形的塑膠腳墊;支架細到看起來撐不住,量體因此顯得更輕。避免:使用粗壯的實木腳、讓支架是方形斷面、把量體直接落地、使用與量體同色的支架。
