SUPPLEMENT USING THE CONCEPT of the "front porch laundry" from years past, William J. Ketcham, General Elec­ tric kitchen/laundry design manager, developed this patio laundry: a bright, cheery center with ainopen view. Ketcham says the design brings the laundry "up front" out of the basement for a convenient, functional and more attractive facility.

Either adapted as the theme for furnishing a full room or as an accent, the de­ signs are pleasing to live with, blending with almost every period and type of fur­ nishings. The Far Eastern love of nature, attention to detail­ ing and classic form have inspired the unusual ele­ gance and variety of forms exemplified by this multitude of home furnishings from ex­ hibitors at the New York Merchandise Mart. Evident in them is the manner in which designers through the ages have reinterpreted pic­ turesque oriental studies of flora and fauna to suit west­ ern tastes. The gentle shapes and softly curving silhouettes of ginger jars, ceremonial tea cups and bamboo styling re­ flect these cultures. Colors are clear, with deep jewel tones providing depth and pastels imparting tranquility. Manufacturers focusing on these forms now offer an enormous selection of Eastern-influenced mer­ chandise that can add their refined nature and decorative character to the home. Any of the pieces shown here would make a pleasing addi­ tion to the mood of a room. These latest definitions of this trend can be seen in stores everywhere.
