Vinyl and Faux Leather: Softness Should Be Smooth

A set of vinyl-covered space-age cushions. The surface is smooth, glossy artificial leather, in a high-chroma pure orange or white, without texture or pores. It covers plump, curved surfaces, with only a few regular seams at the turns, the seam color matching the fabric. When sat upon, the surface will slightly deform and reflections will shift. This material represented modernity and easy cleaning at the time. Avoid: using natural leather and natural fibers like linen, adding velvet and coarse woven textures, using printed or patterned fabrics, letting seams become decorative tufting.

一組乙烯基包覆的太空時代軟墊。表面是光滑帶光澤的人造皮革,顏色是高彩度的正橘或白色,沒有紋理與毛孔;包覆在飽滿的曲面上,只有在轉折處有幾道規則的縫線,縫線的顏色與面料相同。坐上去時表面會有輕微的變形與反光的移動。這種材料在當時代表現代與易清潔。避免:使用天然皮革與亞麻等天然纖維、加入絨面與粗織的質地、使用有印花與圖案的布料、讓縫線變成裝飾性的拉釦。
