a busy city may well be expected to
FRAGILE the strongest nerves. Honk.
ings, clankings and ga:pings fall
endlessly upon the ear. Grim vistas
are present wherever the eye IL
turned. Upon returning home the city
dweller will appreciate a room de-
signed to soothe wearied senses.
Entering this modern room one i'm
mediately gets the impression of be-
ing removed from the hustle of a
workaday world. The tones are dark
black for the most part, relieved
BY creamy lights. Perhaps the lights
are the most unusual feature Of
the room. A soft ceiling light is
hardly noticed All other illumination
comes from narrow panels which
break the walls into angles. These
panels, from point not far above
the floor, are constructed Of opaque.
cream-colored glass
Lights are concealed in them. and
when the lights are turned on the
panels give the effect of luminous
walls. The effect, eliminating hard
shadows and glaring reliefs, is ex-
tremely soothing.
The room is small, and an effect
of spaciousness must be had to in
crease the restful atmosphere. This
effect is created in number of ways,
THE most important of which is the
highly polished ceiling. The ceiling
is black glass or vitrolite.
The lighted panels, rising from the
floor. support the ceiling like pillars.
The opaque glass continues to the
top. so that there is very clear reflec-
ton of each panel in the ceiling. This
Immediately gives an Elusive effect Of
height. and the ceiling seems to be
twice as high as it really is.
Desks and dressing tables are built
into corners. The desks have con.
cave outward edges, so designed that
they appeal restfully to the eye. and
the black and cream motif, although
not stark or harsh. adds restful air
Of simplicity to the room.
Excellence of cabinet work. sim
plicity of design. and utility are COM
