An Englishman Has a Hand

In Developing Furniture

Of American-Modern Type

JEAN TABBERT

| SOME OP THE BEST FURNITURE in American-modern design : got its start on the sketching pad of an Englishman. He is T. H. Robsjohn-Gibbings and his “sculptured” furniture is * taking its place right alongside the fine period furmiture made in the

His designs are called “sculptured” because they're developed in

molded wood. There is no “set” ) for any one piece because each is handcrafted. Mr. RoLsjohn-Gibbings was still pretty young when his interest in interior decoration got started. He . studied for several years with European masters and has decorated many homes in Europe and the United States. It was while he was “doing” a 15-room mansion in California that he was discovered by the firm which now manufactures his designs—the . Widdicomb Furniture Co. of Mich‘jgan. The designer also turns out work for nationdlly-known silver and glassware companies, . » »

As a result, it provilies excellent background for display. ’ ” - ” LIKE ALL modern furniture, its utility is many-sided. . For example, a game table, steady and nonfolding, doubles its size to become a dining table. A dining room commode provides an ample, serviceable location for dining utensils. It contains shelves for dishes; tray draw-

divided and lined for silver, and two appliance compartments, Catering to the- special needs -of the head-of-the-house’s storage problems, the line includes a man’s bureau. It ‘has drawers deep enough for a pile of shirts—just as they come from the laundry. Smaller drawers take care of collars, socks ghd ties. EJ ” . A “DRESSING” compartment at the top of the bureau provides space for brushes, combs and toiletries. There is even a niche to keep odds and ends from trousers pockets! The mirror folds down inte the body of the biifeau. Mrs. Head-of-the-House also is well-provided for with a specially constructed bureau. Among its spacious compartments are two swinging doors equipped with three shelves each for numerous small articles. "Another double-duty piece is an extension desk with an adjustable hinged top, the base of which slides out from the drawer section. Keeping pace with more functional designs in modern architecture, the new American-modern line forecasts fugniture trends of the future. i Pieces from this collection are

for the event. .
