Exaggerated thickness: thirty centimeters for the backrest

A set of components with exaggerated thickness. Sofa backrests and armrests are thirty to forty centimeters thick, coffee table tops are fifteen centimeters thick, mirror frames are nearly one-third the width of the mirror surface, and shelf thickness is three times the usual. These thicknesses are entirely unnecessary functionally; their sole reason for existence is to make the object appear plump. The thick parts are also rounded with large fillets. Avoid: using normal thickness that meets structural requirements, making panels thin to appear lightweight, only thickening one component while others remain normal, making the increased thickness appear structurally necessary.

一組厚度被刻意放大的構件。沙發的靠背與扶手厚達三十到四十公分、矮几的桌板厚達十五公分、鏡框的邊寬接近鏡面的三分之一、層板的厚度是一般的三倍。這些厚度在功能上完全沒有必要,它們存在的唯一理由是讓物件看起來胖。厚的部分同時也被倒成大圓角。避免:使用符合結構需求的正常厚度、把板材做薄顯得輕巧、只加厚某一個構件而其餘正常、讓厚度的增加看起來像結構需要。
