few weeks ago I promised you some hints on rattan furnishing. Rattan is very........... light in weight, strong, and it has a surprisingly great range of decorative possibilities. It is easily obtainable, locally, in fact it is one of the important native trades here. Unfor- tunately the stock designs which one can buy ready-made cannot satisfy the more dis- criminating taste and, unless one has the aptitude to make designs, one is at a loss. On the other hand the Chinese is a really excellent craftsman and if you supply him with appropriate designs rod car depend on satisfactory re-

sults.

I have selected three illustrations which you will see on this page and although only one of them is ac- tually showing rattan furniture- the other two are wrought irop all of them can be adapted to rat- Their design is original and

very pleasing, provided a good co- our scheme and the right uphols- tery material are selected you can- not fall to achieve something dif ferent. The illustrations speak for themselves, especially A. which is actually the one made" of rattan. The construction can be seen clear- ly from the pictures; there remain only some suggestions on the, col- our scheme. Much depends on your room but here is one way to make the fumiture attractive.

Walls: Caen stone colour, lightly stippled. Furniture: painted dark cafe-su-lain. Upholstery: orange or blue linen, which may be plain of some pattern as in the illustra- tion. There is a fibre material which comes from the Philipines called Juci, which can be obtained locally. It makes very original and fitting upholstery for rattan. -

The furniture shown in B and C is actually wrought iron, but their désign can be adapted to our purpose. The arms and legs of the chairs and bench in B must be of heavier construction in rattan, as the well as the under-frame of divan shown in C. For C, I would suggest straw colour, ultramarine bine cushions with light gray pip-

ing. The design is intended for outdoor use, for the terrace or garden, but with- out the sunshade it would fit nicely into any livingroom. For floor covering 1 would . advise Chinese

mats which have a simple and pleasing geome- trical design
