Manufacturer Must Build From Designers Creations After the furniture designer has created a beautiful item of furn iture on the drawing board it is up to the manufacturer to interpret this design correctly and practic ally. . , One of- the most Important fea tures of the completed piece of furniture is the finish. Recently manufacturers have given this process great attention. It is the' finish that preserves the furniture, and enhances the pro duct. , Most popular today is the lighter finish that permits the wood grain ing to show through. Wood is a beautiful work of nature. Why hide it with a dark finish? Tie trend to the more contem porary home, whether it be tradi tional or strictly modern, has helped to develop this liking lor the lighter finish. Many woods, which we have be come accustomed to seeing only in a dark finish, are suddenly ap pearing in beautiful warm, mel low, more natural colors. Teak wood, which in lis darken form is an age old prop for the cloisone vase is taking a new place as an interesting table top. The graining of . teak wood beautiful, but for centuries it has been hidden under a dark, almost black finish. Teak is naturally al most the color of walnut, but it has a definite textured graining When teak is combined with s woodVof finer graining, it creates an unusual and contrasting pattern. ,With color playing such an Im portant pari, in luriuiuie xiiusiies, manufacturers have devised a way to preserve this vivid coloring. You will find on the market group ings of furniture that have been plastic coated to preserve the finish. The finish is so hard that it is almost impervious.
