New Materials Stamp IndeIib|e Mark on Desiqn
By Glodys Miller
Secretary. New York Chapter,
American Institute Of Decorators,

The "don't-overlook" factors of
new designs in modern furniture
are lack of bulk and clean-cut
tailored lines. There are several
reasons for this, but the main one
is the effect the new materials
have on the design.
The light but strong character
tsticS of aluminium and other
materials make possible lighter
legs and frames. Rubber construc-
ton replacing springs. cotton,
down and other familiar materials,
provides smooth, even surface
that has resiliency but offers
base for perfect tailoring.
Modern designers and decora-
tors have found it necessary to
design or select designs in fabrics
that are closely woven and have
interesting yarn and color COM
binations.
Quality Rather Than Drama.
In themselves, these fabrics ex-
press quality and understatement
In design. rather than flamboyancy
or drama. Many of these fabrics
emphasize the horizontal and not
the vertical in weave, because they
are either handwoven, or if woven
on power loom. give the hand
loomed appearance.
Not only is the upholstery
tailored to the proportion of the
piece, but the pieces of seating
furniture are made in various
sizes so that they can be tailored
to fit the walls.
To provide extra comfort, de-
signer George Nelson created in
one of his pieces, a tiltable arm
rest and a choice of tables easily
adjusted and movable. Borrowing

doubly appreciate these new de-
signs which were then unavail-
able.
Recently many of these new
designs were chosen for the Good
Design Exhibit in Chicago. There
are so many good pieces that !
am confident we are starting a
new era in small home-furnishing
design.
Time for Realization Needed.
I do think it will take many
people time and experience to ac-
cept the lightneSs, to realize that
the slender legs will stand the
strain when several people OF con-
siderable weight sit on sofa.
To add to the small home needs,
the corner piece planned to go
with this group has tiltable lid.
It will hold necessary bedding,
should the sofas need to be used
for sleeping. The tables are lac
quered or are in light woods, to
| furnish needed color contrast.
Fish net curtains and the shag
rug offer the needed texture con-
traSt.
A room of this type takes only
a few very good accessories. grow

make it a workable room that
will prove most livable.

pieces have been cantilevered.
Designs Born of War.
Furniture such as this really
was born in the minds of designers
during World WaT II when many
defense and war homes were built
near factories. These homes had
small rooms. The men and wom-
