Future Styles + Of Furniture
Are Argued
Designers Disagree Over What's Ahead
By GAY PAULEY
NEW YORK, Feb. 17 (UP)—| You can stir up an argument | i any time among designers by| asking them- what's ahead for 1
furniture styles.
“Some say we are headed for| ~ Ameriean-inspired furniture for| typical “American homes. Others| contend design always will be a|
product of several nations.
McCobb feared, though, that |i
wvomen would “go through the Italian fad, just as they went
through the Swedish modern fad.” |]
An American. Story
“But by and large, the design |
direction seems to reflect Ameri-
can taste,” he added. “I believe]; " designers finally realize there is]
an American story to tell.” Designer Harold Schwartz com- . mented that if Italian and Swedish designers influence the Americans it is because they all think in the same terms. One well-known husband and wife team, the Ronald Allworks, doubt that furniture design ever will get away from international
influence. Mrs. Allwork, an inter-|, _Tior decorator, agreed with her|] “some | Swedish modern or Italian design|®
* architect husband that
will live forever, Some of it will| Ml
die shortly, just as some Ameri-|| can design is bound to be short-|js
lived.”
The Allworks, who recently designed a group, of contemporary furniture for the Cassard Romano Co., feel that American furniture makers probably never
craftmanship.
But Mrs. Allwork added, “In turn, the Italian designers are not as imaginative or original as Americans.”
Magazine Influence
‘“There’s just as much fad for American design as there ever was for Swedish modern”, she said. “Women are demanding Ameri-can-designed pieces simply because they read all the magazines “which feature them.” . The Allworks expect the U. S. “defense program to simplify furniture designs and also cut down on their number. . Mrs. Allwork explained. “With tools and machinery being used “for defense production, it's only natural that what furniture is made will be of the easiest-to-pro-duce style. And there will be few new designs. . “If war comes, there will be an "'jevitable shortage of wood.” she
ant on. “And of course, a short-
‘e of hardware.”

By JEAN TABBERT HOME FASHION FORECAST: Cottons will brighten In-
dianapolis homes this spring:
New fabrics tabbed for decoration purposes will fulfill any interior task, yet are made of the lighter fibers so easy to stitch. That's one of the reasons cotton is such a favorite with home
seyers, lessly, washes like a breeze. Prices, too, come pegged lower than similar designs in other materials, Typical of current fashions in local stores are the four fabrics shown from Banner-White-hill’s. x
Twice As Wide

One of the most attractive “twins” this season is a cotton shantung-type cloth, just the ticket for window drapes or upholstery business. The print ($2.65) is a floral design that comes in brown and gray or beige and gray. Its plain relative ($2.50) complements it in a rainbow of shades.

By ELIZABETH HILLYER YOU'VE HEARD about orlon, the new synthetic yarn made from natural gas, and hydrogen and nitrogen from the atmosphere. ; ¥ It was developed during the war to use in the South Pacific, where ordinary materials rotted - away from the effects of intense light and heat, and from moisture, fungus. and insects. Is the new wonder available to you? Yes, many more stores are now being added to the original few which sold curtains of orlon acrylic fiber. : . 8 =» ; STARTING this month you'll see beautiful sheer marquiset for the first time in colors,
Orlon Curtains Available
six beautiful pastels as well as white, by the yard and in panels and ruffled styles. Curtains of orlon last a long time and are easy to care for. Claims are many--that sunlight and radiator heat affects them not at all, that pests won't attack them, that they are extraordinary in their resistance to smoke, fumes, salt alr and mildew.
They won't sag or shrink, wash easily, dry in a few minutes and leave no veiny white wrinkles, They need little or no ironing and can be dry cleaned. One of the most unusual things about orlon is the way it feels—its almost warm instead of cold and clammy.
