New Lamp Designed
To Be Attached 10
Headboard Of Bed
By D. M. Derwin

The trend towards the mod
ern" in architectural design seems
to be here to stay. The use of pas
tells in interior decorating, with
paint and wallpaper. is often util-
lied to create an all-over harmo-
I1ious setting. Manufacturers of
lighting equipment and furniture
craftsmen have also made tremen-
douS strides in creating models
that. while modern in design, are
so skillfully designed that one can
be assured they will be in good
taste dozen or more years from
now. Two such items are q book
case-headboard lamp and a grace
full and unusual pin-up lamp.
Today. because of our pace of
living. many people find the per-
feet way to relax for a good nights
sleep is to take book to bed and
escape within its pages for about
30 minutes before falling of to-
sleep. The bookcase -headboard
lamp was designed primarily to
meet the need for proper lighting
while reading in bed.
This lamp will conveniently ut
into the 812 or 9 inch niche found
IN the bookcase or bar-type head
board. It is versatile. has a triple
swivel and can be directed toI
light a single bed or a part Of al
double bed. Another variation of
this lamp provides lighting for a
desk or piano. Both are finished
in polished brass.
A graceful and unusual pin-up
lamp, marketed by another man
ufacturer, is truly different in de-
sign, finish and appeal. This pin
u plamp features a double di-
rectional swivel which permits a !
change in position of the light
rays so that both light rays may
be DETECTED downward towards
the floor or upward toward the
ceiling, or the unusual can be
achieved by having one lamp di-
rected up and the other down.
The satin brass base is a 4-inch
circular wall plaque on which is
superimposed a modern satin brass
leaf cluster from which extend
two arms. With the lamp en-
ployed for direct lighting it has
a 13-inch height, and for indi-
rect lighting 1712-inch height.
The shades are washable and
are available in natural, char
treuSe. red or green. Single arm
pin-up lamps in this design are
also available.
DrOp-Leaf Table.
Always popular. the drop-leaf
table is being more enthusiastically
accepted than ever before, not so
much for the table itself but for
the adaptability and versatility
which has been built into it.
One of Americas most depend
able furniture manufacturers rec
ognized the trend toward compact
ness in everyday living which
requires versatility in furnitureI
units, making them capable of
meeting entertainment needs.
This firms four-pedestal drop
leaf table is a conversion table
made with a 5-ply walnut orI
mahogany veneered top, hand
rubbed and finished.
Closed, this table has a top
surface Of % inches by AZ inches
and reques a minimum of space
in the decorators scheme.
For a dinner for two or four,
both leaves can be raised to Gre
ate dining surface AZ inches by
go inches. In both instances the
four pedestals give the impression
Of being but two double pedestals.
1t is when this conversion or
extension drop leaf is extended
to its full size that each pedestal
separates into four distinct
pedestals for table balance.
BY adding four 12-inch filler
leaves to the extended table, q |
dining surface AZ inches by 108
inches is achieved.
