Simplicity: Reduced to the Bare Minimum

A room reduced to its absolute limit. There are only four things in the space: a rough, earthy-colored wall, a dark wooden floor, a low wooden table only thirty centimeters high, and a coarse ceramic bowl on the table. There are no light fixtures, no hanging pictures, no furniture, no storage, no plants. The ceiling is simple wooden boards, without any installations. The window is an opening in the wall, without curtains. Everything that could be removed has been removed; every remaining item cannot be further reduced. Because there are so few things, the texture of the materials, the placement of objects, and the proportion to the space become the only content, and any excess would be immediately noticeable. Avoid: adding any objects or decorations, adding lighting equipment, using multiple materials, making the space appear luxurious or comfortable.

一個減到極限的房間。空間中只有四樣東西:一片粗糙的土色牆、一片深色的木地板、一張高度僅三十公分的矮木几、以及几上的一只粗陶碗。沒有燈具、沒有掛畫、沒有家具、沒有收納、沒有植物。天花是簡單的木板,沒有任何裝置。窗是牆上的一個開口,沒有窗簾。所有能夠移除的都被移除了,剩下的每一樣都無法再減。因為東西極少,材料的質地、物件的位置、與空間的比例成為僅有的內容,任何一點多餘都會被立刻察覺。避免:增加任何物件與裝飾、加入照明設備、使用多種材料、讓空間顯得華麗或舒適。
