‘Use of New Materials
Modern Pieces Sell at Low Prices But Give Quality Air in Right Setting
By ELIZABETH TOOMEY nited Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, gh 18—Modern designers are hard at|
work dreaming up special furniture for budget homes.
They don’t want cheap copies of fine furniture, but quality pieces which sell for less because they're made of new
. materials and put together by new and cheaper methods,
New bookcases and storage units made of metal, plywood and
plastic, designed by Charles Eames, are one answer to-the
steel.
Shelves of the storage pieces are made of plywood with a plastic|
coating. Sliding panel doors are

But given two coats of paint in a decorator color and an applica tion of attractive decals, a cedar chest becomes a gay piece ‘of furniture, with appeal for the boy who occupies the room.
