The Corner of Upholstery: The Fold at the Turn

An extreme close-up of the corner of an armchair, filling the frame: the fabric is folded at the right angle, pulled taut, and secured with hidden tacks, forming a clean diagonal fold. The fabric grain runs symmetrically on both sides of the fold line. The way the fold is handled determines whether the entire chair looks refined or cheap. The fabric is wool with a distinct weave, showing subtle deformation of warp and weft under tension. Below is a corner of the wooden frame, with a 2mm chamfer. Soft side lighting clearly reveals both the three-dimensionality of the fold and the fibers of the fabric. Avoid: crooked fold lines or asymmetrical fabric grain, using smooth, textureless fabric, visible tacks or threads, a full shot of the entire chair.

一張扶手椅轉角處的極近景,佔滿畫面:布料在直角處被折疊、拉緊並以隱藏的釘固定,形成一道乾淨的斜摺,布紋在摺線兩側的走向對稱。摺的處理方式決定了整張椅子看起來是精緻還是廉價。布料是有明顯織紋的羊毛,可以看到經緯線在張力下的細微變形。下方是木製框架的一角,做了 2mm 的導角。柔和的側光讓摺的立體感與布的纖維同時清楚。避免:摺線歪斜或布紋不對稱、使用光滑無紋理的布、看得見固定的釘或線、拍成整張椅子的全景。
