There appears to be a trend toward carpeting walls "floor- to - ceiling," at least as far as a number of savvy restaurant and theatre operators in Mannaitan are concerned. In the past few years a series of new restaurants and redecorated theatres in New tapestry designs, developed from his efforts. Bullfight scenes, landscapes and city scapes such as the Taj Mahal and Plaza San Marco of Ven ire were soon going up on liie curpeieu wall jual off t!,c doorway. To "erase" the picture, Mi chele found It could be done simply and quickly with an York have been featuring lush j ordinary vacuum cleaner that carpet on the walls. For one ! removes the chalk marks as restaurant designer, this fea ture has become a trademark. Jack Fieldman has designed the interiors for scores of new dining places in the New York area from "hamburger joints" to exclusive bistros, and the chances are that a visitor will find a carpeted wall. "Cheaper To Install" "Carpet on the wall has all kinds of advantages," Field- man holds, "and they are not limited to the decorative aspect either. Carpet is one of the best acoustical materi als you can find to swallow up the noise which diners find so disturbing. It's easier to put up than wallpaper or wood paneling, and in many cases, it's even cheaper." The carpet-on-wall idea has also taken hold as a distinc tive conversation piece in Fieldman-designed eateries. At one gourmet palace In mid town Manhattan, the "Bon Vivant," the maitre d' has utilized the carpet as a new material for applying his na tive artist talents. Placing his hand on the rich looking, burgundy colored carpet one day, headwaiter Michele Perris discovered he could create a "picture" by tracing his finger through the pile. He decided to experiment further, and soon he gradu ated to pastel chalks to color in the outline created by his finger tracing. Tapestry Effect The results were astounding to Perris, his boss and the "Bon Vivant" customers. Col orful and elegant "wall-paintings" looking very much like easily as it would dust. As a result, the carpel pic tures have become the major conversation piece at the Bon Vivant. Perris changes the picture , which takes about two hours to complete, two or three times a week or whenever the inspiration hits him. The first question pa trons ask when they come in is "What's the picture today, Michele?" Perris finds his new hobby offers him a great deal of creative pleasure, and he has received numerous requests from his art-loving patrons to "paint" a picture for them or. the C9rn they plan to put up on the walls in their homes. By the way, for his restau-1 rant interiors Fieldman does use carpet in the old conven tional way-on the floor. "Why for any decent restaurant, it's mandatory!" he assert" "It re- i moves the hard, institutional i look so often found in dining places. It's quieter, and It's ; easier to keep clean than hard floors. Carpet makes people . feel more relaxed and com fortable when they're eating." In Fieldman's opinion, "Half j the ulcers in the world are caused not by bad food, but by bad decor." . j Nurseries Heed Carpeted Floors Babies are very delicate creatures-so naturally parents want to give them the best of care.
