Summary
Pathe synopsis: A display of modern furniture which is really up-to-date. Some of the brighter ideas are: a cocktail cabinet with a pivoting door that can be used as a bar, a dining table which can be adjusted to three different heights by pulling a lever, a wardrobe with plastic doors which slide up and out of sight. These are only a few of the improvements which the designers of today have in store for us. [Designs by Christopher and Anthony Heal and on display at Heal’s.]
