MODERN FRENCH FURNITURE DRAWN BY FRANCIS GAUTHIER.- Modern houses and modern furniture are linked together. If you have a flat with large windows from floor to ceiling, you also must have furniture which can stand all the light, air and sunshine which streams into the rooms. The set of furniture shown in the illustration on the right has light beige covers which harmonize with the sunny air in the room. So that the room will not look dull in cloudy weather, the door has been painted with a richly coloured exotic decoration. (Centre)-Frenchmen, who from early days have excelled in elegant bedrooms, are braving the existing taste for tubular steel-beds, linoleum-covered floors and oil-painted walls, and present here an upholstered bed in pink silk in luxurious surroundings. (Left).—Madame's desk, plain and well-made, in ash with a chair covered with home- woven, brick-red material.
