Long Tables: Piled High and Disheveled

A dark wooden long table piled high with items, not neatly arranged. The tabletop is old dark brown wood, with ink stains, scratches, and cup rings; on it are simultaneously placed: open large books, a stack of handwritten papers, several stacked books serving as bookends, a brass inkwell and fountain pen, a pair of glasses, a teacup. The items are in a state of use, not arranged. Beside the table is a hardwood chair or a leather armchair. Avoid: clearing and tidying the tabletop, using modern office desks and computers, neatly arranging objects, using light-colored and painted tabletops.

一張堆滿東西的深色木長桌。桌面是深棕的舊木,有墨漬、刻痕與杯印;上面同時放著:攤開的大書、一疊手寫的紙、幾本疊起來的書當書擋、一個銅製的墨水瓶與鋼筆、一副眼鏡、一個茶杯。東西是使用中的狀態,不是排列過的。桌旁一張硬木椅或皮革扶手椅。避免:把桌面清空整理乾淨、使用現代的辦公桌與電腦、把物件排列整齊、使用淺色與上漆的桌面。
