Brass and Smoked Glass: A 1970s Combination

A space primarily featuring brass and smoked glass. Coffee tables and side tables have slender brass frames paired with tea-colored glass tops; the glass has a distinct brownish tint, making the carpet color beneath appear darker when viewed through it. Bookshelves and screens are also of the same combination, with slender brass rods forming a regular linear grid, inlaid with smoked glass. The brass is matte brushed or slightly oxidized dark gold, not mirror-polished bright gold. It is paired with a dark brown velvet sofa, ochre-orange throw pillows, and a thick pile rug. The light is warm, with brass reflecting soft, elongated highlights, and the glass having a dark, translucent quality. Avoid: using mirror-polished bright gold, depicting the glass as transparent and colorless, adding other metals like stainless steel and chrome, using cool white lighting.

一個以黃銅與煙燻玻璃為主要材料的空間。茶几與邊几是細長的黃銅框架搭配茶色玻璃桌面,玻璃有明顯的褐色調,透過它看下方的地毯顏色會變深;書架與屏風也是同樣的組合,黃銅的細桿構成規律的直線格網,中間嵌著煙燻玻璃。黃銅是霧面拉絲或輕微氧化的暗金,不是鏡面亮金。搭配深咖啡色的絲絨沙發、赭橘的抱枕與一張厚絨地毯。光線偏暖,黃銅反射出柔和的長條高光,玻璃則有深色的通透感。避免:使用鏡面拋光的亮金、把玻璃畫成透明無色、加入不鏽鋼與鉻等其他金屬、使用冷白的照明。
