New Chinese Style - Transition: Proportions from Classical to Contemporary

Three juxtaposed degrees of New Chinese style in the same space, illustrating appropriate proportions. The left side is antique imitation: rosewood furniture, intricate carvings, painted beams and purlins, complete sets of calligraphy and paintings and擺件 (decorative items), saturated Chinese red and gold, like a restored mansion. The center is the appropriate state of New Chinese style: retaining the form and proportions of Ming style furniture but with simplified lines, only one pattern, colors based on achromatic tones with one low-chroma main tone, materials are dark wood and stone. The right side is overly Westernized: the form is completely modern, with only a few Chinese symbols pasted on throw pillows and a painting, showing no Eastern spatial logic. The layout and dimensions of all three are identical. Avoid: making the three look similar, making the central version resemble either the left or right, changing the layout and number of furniture items for the three, adding irrelevant decorations.

同一個空間的三種新中式程度並置,說明分寸。左側是仿古:紅木家具、繁複的雕花、彩繪的梁枋、成套的字畫與擺件、飽和的中國紅與金,像一座復原的宅第。中央是新中式的合宜狀態:保留明式家具的形制與比例但線條簡化、只有一處紋樣、色彩以無彩度為底加一個低彩度主調、材料是深木與石。右側是過度西化:形式已經完全是現代的,只在抱枕與一幅畫上貼了幾個中式符號,看不出東方的空間邏輯。三者的格局與尺寸相同。避免:讓三者看起來相似、把中央版本做得像左右任何一種、改變三者的格局與家具數量、加入無關的裝飾。
