Space, Mood And Monc
Contribute To (^anMcs
THOMASVILLE - Space,
money and mood are key
influences in the way homes
look today. Sometimes
singly, sometimes together,
these elements are produc
ing some of the most
dramatic changes in
American interiors.
Take the dining room. No
matter how small the area,
gracious living is impossible
without attractive furniture.
Fully aware of the shrink
ing size of today's new
homes, furniture designers
are creating appropriately
scaled dining pieces that
are, in addition, multifunc
tional.
A pioneer in this concept
is Thomasville Furniture
Industries, renowned for its
beautiful formal furniture.
The manufacturer recently
launched a new collection
never before offered in
dinette size.
“Carte Blanche” consists
of a table, four chairs, and a
credenza. All pieces are
engineered for function,
beautifully designed, and
perfectly proportioned for
today’s living spaces.
Ideal for young recently
marrieds or newly
singles—or an older couple
whose children have left
home—Carte Blanche satis
fies the increasing demand
for smaller but better dining
furniture for apartments,
condominiums, and kitchen
and family room arrange
ments.
The flexible storage unit,
aptly labeled the “Incred
ible Credenza,” is so named
for several reasons. On
casters for easy mobility, it
has a finished back, and can
serve as a beautiful room
divider.
Its hinged flip top has a
laminated surface useful for
a work area or additional
dining space, and a deep-
well compartment for
concealed table-leaf
storage, as well as table
pads.
Constructed from hard
wood solids and veneers,
the credenza has four
drawers. One drawer,
with a pencil-tray insert, is
situated above a file drawer
with wood dividers. The
piece also serves as a mini
desk.
In addition, the top central
drawer sports a concealed
lock and drop-in silver tray.
The large storage area in
the middle has an adjust
able shelf, while the storage
cabinet on the right has a
fixed shelf and removable
wine rack.
Carte Blanche dining is
available in a wide range of
popular styles from formal-
traditional to casual-con-
temporary.
Tables are round or oval
and have an extra leaf with
a full apron for a finished
appearance and added flex
ibility. Chairs are high or
low back, and come with or
without casters. Seats are
slip, or “comfortex,” for
heavy use. Both chair styles
in every design are scaled to
fit neatly under tables for
added space-saving.
Several Carte Blanche
styles have been designed to
coordinate with Thom
asville wall systems and
entertainment centers,
a spokesman said.
