NEA Staff Writer
NEW YORK, — (NEA) — Just
by looking at the new furniture
for 1951 and pulling out a drawer
or two, you can almost see the
sort of people for whom the vari-’
ous pieces were designed. Mostly,
they’re people with problems.
The man who’s never in his life
had a right-sized place to stow
his shirts, the mother who’s en-
gaged in a running battle-of-the-
couch with small fry feet, those
who must double up in a closet-
sized quarters—all are being
given a break this year.
The result is a common-sense
collection of furniture that stres-
ses utility as well as beauty. One
important new trend is that of
fitting furniture to the particular
room you’re furnishing. Since a
massive sofa in a tiny room tends
to be overpowering, one company
hit upon the idea of offering a
choice of four lengths to home-
makers.
You may also select from six
arm-styles and two types of
cushioning, virtually
your seating units to your own
tastes and needs.
When you move into a larger
6r differently-proportioned home
you may purchase matching
units to create furniture more in
keeping with the new dimensions
Another firm with a Simular
scheme will upholster as one
piece the units you choose, rath-
er than leaving them as section-
als. The effect is "that of custom-
built furniture. Fabrics by the
well-known designers aid in co-
ordinating upholstery with struc-
ture of the pieces.
People who use one room for
sleeping, dining, entertaining and
relaxing are aided in avoiding a
hodge-podge by multiple-purpose
furniture. This is designed to look
right in whatever room of the
house you need it, in temporary
arrangements now or permanent
homes later.
One firm, for instance, offers
low two-drawer chests that can
serve as bedside tables, as end
supports for a vanity unit, or as

occasional tables beside living-
room chairs. The design is per-
fectly coordinated with other
pieces in the line.
Another piece designed to ease
crowded living is a plywood and
metal room divider, which serves
the double purpose of a screen
and storage wall. Color is heigh-
tened and expense is lessened by
the use of plastic for side and
back panels.
Although the exterior design of
new furniture is forward-looking,
the interiors are old-fashioned in
a practical sort of way. Compart-
ments are imporant this year.
Shelf and drawer dimensions
seem to have been determined
by actual measurements of
things to be stored there. Shal-

that are top-ranking this year.
