A piece like this needs “negative space” around it in order to work. The delicacy and simplicity of the frame.
Now, some of you might prefer that, but to me, it’s ruined the design of the chair. Imagine i’d added a basket down by the side of the chair and wanged a cushion on. I purposefully didn’t add cushions or throws to these chairs. The space and light that passes through allows you to see the shape, design and structure of the frame, highlighting the soft, clean lines of the velvet seat.

Ok, I think you guys have got it now. Let’s take a look at how it works in practice. This basic, but often overlooked, principle of design gives the eye a “place to rest,” increasing the appeal of a composition through subtle means.” Wikipedia “The use of equal negative space, as a balance to positive space, in a composition is considered by many as good design. Negative space = the “empty” space around and in between everything else, more often than not highlighting and showcasing everything next to it. Positive space = the space that’s taken up with actual “stuff” furniture, lighting, artwork, accessories…. The chimney breast was left clear, offering the room some negative space to balance out the alcoves, both of which were filled with furniture, mirrors, books and accessories. Negative space is a good thing and every room needs it in order to function, to offer visual balance and to zone spaces.
I’ve mentioned this a few times over on Instagram of late, and I thought it was about time I explained what i’m actually going on about. Negative space isn’t a space that’s got “ bad vibes, man”.
