About Frame of Color 住宅室內設計

「色彩之框」係一個喺台灣完成嘅住宅室內設計項目。設計以受1970年代太空流行藝術風格啟發嘅色塊,勾勒出傢俬嘅輪廓框架。喺飯廳同客廳入面,黑色、黃色同藍色嘅Valchromat染色密度板構成咗主要嘅視覺元素。牆身同天花以純白色油漆粉飾,化身成一塊畫布,而牆面同天花相接之處則以弧形處理,以保持整體嘅一致性。無縫啞光地板貫穿全屋,明亮嘅雲石則圍繞住入口位置。設計刻意留白,令視線可以聚焦喺經典復古嘅傢俬之上。

Production Technology: In order to manufacture the color blocks in a curved shape, the designer has chosen the material of valchromat which is easier to construct on its surface. In addition, seamless flooring is used in the house and the designer has also painted the house in pure white to bring out the main color and the classic furniture. As to the entry, the bright marble is used as the frame and with the extension of it, the contrast between the floor in matte texture has made a theme.
Design Challenge: The main axis, the classic furniture, is surrounded by curved shapes and colors. After the concept of the design is complete, how to find adequate furniture to make the space vivid is one of the criteria. Therefore, the designer has made the curved shapes and the unique bright colors from the 70s space pop art as the main visual theme. At the same time, the copies and replicas are eliminated.
Research: The designer has chosen vivid colors and modern curved lines from the 70s space pop art as the axis but it is surrounded by the pure white canvas which is for the purpose of bringing out the classic retro furniture. In order to maintain consistency, the designer has used seamless flooring in matte texture which extends to the inner space as a pure and clean canvas. At the same time, the designer has made the bright marble lean on the wall which has created a contrast with the floor and the flow line is shown clearly.
Inspiration: As astronaut Neil Armstrong landed on the moon, which means humankind has stepped onto another planet besides Earth. Based on the news, since 1967, the trend of space has raised up. At the same time, the splendid color concept and curved shape style had become popular with the name, space pop art, in the 70s. Furthermore, the style is to decorate with valchromat so as to leave several blank spaces to make people focus on the furniture.
Project Duration: The project finished in Taiwan.
Operation Flow: The client of the mansion is two sisters so they have chosen yellow as their gate color which has connected to the public domains. However, the concept of curved shapes and color blocks have extended to the private area, and according to the character of the sisters, the designer has modified the use of the color and style.
