The Difference Between Modern and Minimalist Styles: One Emphasizes Warmth, the Other Order

An interior that is warm-toned minimalist rather than modern minimalist. Here, there are no integrated handleless wooden walls, no perfectly aligned dividing lines, no hidden, volumetric cabinets. Storage consists of simple wooden cabinets and woven baskets, clearly identifiable as furniture rather than built-in fixtures. Materials are hand-troweled lime plaster and knotty solid wood, not lacquered panels and large slab slate. The quality of the space comes from the tactile feel of the materials, not the discipline of lines. Avoid: using entire walls of handleless modular cabinets, aligning all dividing lines, using smooth industrially manufactured surfaces, completely hiding traces of life within cabinets.

一個是暖調極簡而非現代簡約的室內。這裡沒有整合式的無把手木作牆、沒有對齊到底的分割線、沒有隱藏一切的量體感櫃體。收納是簡單的木櫃與藤編籃,看得出是家具而不是工程。材料是手抹的石灰塗料與有節的實木,不是烤漆板與大板岩板。空間的品質來自材質的手感,不是線條的紀律。避免:使用整面無把手的系統櫃、把所有分割線對齊、使用平整的工業製造表面、把生活痕跡完全收進櫃子裡。
