In response to public demand, Mr. Jonson and other major interior de­ signers have begun to make more extensive use of the new lines of furni­ ture that make the color­ ful informality possible. Among these is Samson- ite's "Amy's Garden" col­ lection of portable tables and chairs. These are bright, happy-looking ad­ ditions to any contempo­ rary decor, and they fold "pencil thin" to save space needed for living. There are 30" and 34" tabletops covered in total­ ly stain-resistant General Tire vinyl with a mini- polka dot pattern called "Staccato" that comes in cerulean blue, daffodil yellow, parrot green and vermilion orange. The sturdy table frames and legs are color coordinated with the table tops in baked enamel finishes of bright yellow, orange, green and blue. To complete an unusual and stunning setting for any occasion from an af­ ternoon bridge party, to an evening buffet dinner, there are chairs with pad­ ded "Boltaflex" vinyl seats and backs in blue/green and orange/yellow floral FLOWERS YOU CAN FOLD AWAY . . . bloom indoors with this colorful "Amy's Garden" folding furniture by Samsonite.
