Global Views Williamsburg 霍爾本展示櫃的設計靈感來源於一杯珍貴的建築書籍,這本書最初出版於倫敦的高霍爾本地區,如今收藏於殖民地威廉斯堡的圖書館裡。
霍爾本展示櫃上的新古典主義圓形圖案,在18世紀末和19世紀初的羅馬室內建築中非常流行,後世的人們在發掘龐培古城(義大利那不勒斯附近)和赫庫蘭尼姆古城(因維蘇威火山大噴發而埋沒)時得以讓這種經典圖案重現於世。
蘇格蘭建築師和設計家羅伯特•亞當、英國新古典家具大師托馬斯.謝拉頓、美國總統托馬斯.杰斐遜都曾致力於推廣這種經典圖案。如今倫敦市內公園的鐵柵欄很多都用到了這種設計,如果說公園是城市的綠洲,那麼這些鐵柵欄則是保衛綠洲的將士。
Global Views 將鐵環的設計轉換成珍珠母內嵌飾面,並將原本的鐵釘改為鎳質把手,致敬古羅馬曾經的輝煌,也讓新古典主義圓形圖案重獲新生。
London′s parks offer green oases within iron fences. Our Holborn collection is inspired by a design for an iron fence in a rare architectural book--originally published in the High Holborn area of London--in Colonial Williamsburg′s library. Such neoclassic circular motifs--inspired by designs used in Roman interiors discovered at the excavations of Pompeii and Herculaneum--were popular in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. We′ve translated the design′s iron circles into mother-of-pearl inlay, and it′s iron spikes to nickel handles for an update on design′s popularized by tastemakers such as Robert Adam, Thomas Sheraton, and Thomas Jefferson.
