MODERN NOMAD: Featuring Fold-up Furniture and Essential Luxuries — August 30 - September 30, 2008

What things turn a bare room into a home?

The necessities are: a place to work, to eat, to sleep, and to relax. Also, our nomad needs to fit all his things into his pickup truck or his SUV. He needs space for books and dishes, so he has a table top which he fastens to Abstracta shelving, a system of tubes and connectors which can be taken apart. His straight chairs, including two for guests, are folding and if needed can be used with chair covers for added elegance. All of his lamps are fold up. His rugs are flat woven. His large wall pictures roll up. His TV stand has a metal frame that folds. His wonderful leather easy chair with footstool can be folded flat. His bed is a bean bag- 7 foot diagonal length- which can be placed sideways and used as a two-seater when needed. His bedding is beautifully coordinated with his pictures and his pillows.

His taste for simple elegance is satisfied with rich fabrics on pillows and table linens, warm colors, fine dishes, the perfect vase for flowers and the right coffee maker.
