Adaptable Furniture

INGENIOUS COMBINATIONS

On© of th© most intriguing examples of the furniture designer’s regard for the limited space problem of the flat dweller, is th© combination sideboard and writing bureau. It is perfect in utility, and in camouflage, for when it is closed it is literally impossible to detect its dual nature. A flap in the centre drops down to reveal a capacious writing bureau, beautifully fitted with pigeon holes and drawers. In front there i.s a large double cupboard. At one end is another cupboard, and at the other end are shelves for books.

Apropos of books, without whose kindly companionship many folks would feel tneir sitting rooms to be strahgely empty, the corner book shelf is another boon. It is literally a corner bookshelf that takes up no more space than th© corner angle, into which it fits snugly six feet high. It is provided with seven double shelves to accommodate about a hundred volumes.

The culinary artist hampered by imperfect kitchen arrangements and restricted .space would fall in love with a kitchen table fitted underneath with cupboards. It is a legless table, but is supported down the middle. the support being used as cupboards, which are provided with sliding doors.that do not interfere with necessary knee space.
