巧克力盒子A Box of Chocolates

「人生就像一盒巧克力，你永遠無法得知你將會得到什麼口味。」——阿甘正傳。
當時光飛逝，若可以對生命中每一個充滿愛與希望的當下按下快門，那又是什麼光景呢？應該是很多很多和心愛的人在家中的畫面吧，家也像是一盒巧克力，藏納著不同心情的甜。如同掀開安放巧克力的盒子般，入門便能感受濃厚的溫馨氛圍，巧克力的方形佈滿空間中各個角落，天花板內收的沿邊，發散著暖黃的光芒，茶几也如同纏著十字緞帶的一盒祝福，跳色沙發是絲滑綿密的牛奶巧克力和溫軟香甜白巧克力的搭配，是老家的舊沙發與新沙發的組合，讓客廳的空氣有了回憶與展望相互交融的奇妙與生動。
餐廳區是濃郁微苦的黑巧克力，方格造型拱上的鏽鐵塗料似巧克力製程中發酵、曝曬、研磨的樣貌，粗糙的顆粒表面是淬練過的生命的紀念，與地面及吊燈的材質連成一氣，圍成一方生活的點滴。餐桌底端的造型高櫃、吧台下方的展示空間、書房壁面的置物書架.....垂直水平的線條勾勒出巧克力的空間，空白或是擺放收藏都別有一番趣味，乘載了屋主的回憶，它或許是家人遺留或贈送的，又或許是自己珍藏的，不管哪一種，當被帶入了新家，也將會賦予新的故事，連結了過去與未來，好似起居室的壁燈一般，形體色彩無一相同，猶如盛裝在盒中玲然滿目的巧克力，一格一格散發著獨特的韻味。
母親房床頭繃布是融化的巧克力，當絲綢般的巧克力化在舌尖，醇厚的香氣便如絲綢一般柔滑的層層堆疊，兒子臥房的床頭像黑巧克力，簡單俐落的片片排列，兩相融合好像成為一杯睡前的可可，願一家人都能一覺好眠.....
咀嚼著空間裡叫做回憶的巧克力，彷彿時間暫時停留在美好的曾經，同時也嘗試更多的可能， 家裡的每一個成員，用愛延續著的生活，就是幸福的滋味了。

 

 

“Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you‘re going to get.”—Forrest GumpTime flies, as they say, but what would your life look like if you could capture moments oflove and hope on camera?
Mostly likely it would be composed of numerous images of timespent with your loved ones in your home. Similar to that famous quote by Forrest Gump,home is a box of chocolates, where all the life’s sweetness can be found. A warm atmosphere envelopes you immediately as you step into the home, like greetings ofthe aroma when you open a box of chocolates. Squares resembling chocolates can bediscovered in every corner. The ceiling edges emit gentle yellow light, while the coffee tablebrings to mind a box of blessings wrapped in a ribbon. The sofas, highlighted in contrasting colors, are the perfect blend of silky milk and soft white chocolates. Old sofa from the former living quarter and the new one add an animated dialogue between past memories and future hopes. The dining area is dark chocolate, bitter and sweet. The rectangular arch with rustic paint references the fermentation, exposure and grinding processes of chocolate-making. Its rough surface commemorates a soul that has endured life’schallenges.
By connecting the floor and the material of the ceiling lamp, the space forms anarena where daily life takes place. From the end of the dining table, under the bar to the wall in the study room, vertical andhorizontal lines crisscross to form compartments in stylish display shelves to house chocolatey sweetness. Vacant or filled, these compartments hold myriad memories of thehome’s inhabitants. Some objects may be a legacy, present or personal collection.Whatever the reason for their being, they are brought to this home to tell a story. These items bridge the past and the future, and are each different in color and shape, like the walllamps in the living room. They are an assortment of chocolates that give individual flavorsto the home.The fabric used for the mother’s bedhead feature walls are melted chocolate,silky on the tip of the tongue with a rich, layered aroma. The fabric used for the son’s bedhead feature wall is dark chocolate in neat arrangement. The designs complement eachother as if making a cup of hot cocoa, the perfect nightcap for sweet dreams. As we savor the chocolate of memories, time seems to temporarily suspend between precious moments in the past and new possibilities in the future. Each family member shallcarry on with the love shared in this home. That, is felicity.
