A SUITE FOR THREE
ALL IN ONE PIECE LONDON. Mrs Edith Earle, 74-year-old greatgrandmother, has designed a new piece of furniture for the cramped Home—three beds, a dressing table, wardrobe, and clothes closet all rolled into one. She worked out the plan by means of a cardboard model stitched together. She showed her neighbours the prototype, made by a carpenter, in her dining room. It looks like a large wardrobe, Oft long, sft high, and 2ft 9in deep. But underneath the central wardrobe are rollers. Two beds, complete with bedding, can be pulled out.
On the left is a chest of drawers, and on the right a dressing table with an electric light. A child’s cot, reached by a ladder, pulls out on top of the “Kombe.” Mrs Earle said her invention was the answer to the furniture problems of couples who live in two rooms. She went on: “And there is going to be no profiteering. I have designed the Kombe for the people, and I am going to see that the people benefit. ‘T shall sell the design, and see that the price is kept reasonable—about £35.”
