CONCENTRATED COMFORT
DUAL-PURPOSE FURNISHINGS The necessity of “concentrated comfort’ in the smaller homes, being erected in such numbers today, continues to maintain a widespread interest in “double-duty” furniture, and many novel and ingenious ideas in convertible and combination equipment are constantly being brought out in response to the popular demand. One of the most original examples of this kind recently introduced is a .sideboard-writing-bureau known as the Saxton. The sideboard has three short drawers for cutlery and table linen, and the usual two cupboards, one at either side. Immediately above these is a mock long drawer which swings round on a central pivot when the handle on the right-hand side is pulled. A writing area of 24iin by and a row of pigeon holes are then revealed, and if for any reason it should be necessary to leave work which is not yet completed, the bureau may be closed and opened again later without disturbing or disarranging one’s papers. The size of the cutlery drawers is 14Jin by 13iin, with depth ranging between 4in and 65in. The cupboards, which include shelves, are lSJin by 16in by 17Jin. The sideboard is constructed of oak and is attractively finished with panelled doors and appropriate metal mounts.
