DRIPLESS FLOWERPOTS. The Finns have fewer flowers than the Danes and the Swedes, but they make up for any scarcity in imagination and originality. ("We get all our ideas from the Finns," a Norwegian designer has said.) Richard Lindh, one of the artists at the famed Arabia ceramic factory, has found a way to make a lovely decoration out of the most modest geranium: put it in a clean, white-glazed clay pot with a built-in saucer. In another clever turn of the potter's wheel, Lindh took the holes out of the bottom of the pots and put them on the side, instead. This provides proper ventilation—and prevents dirt from leaking out onto the living-room table. DOUBLE-DECKER TEAPOTS Here the Scandinavians—incurable teapot collectors all—offer another lesson to Americans. In the double-decker teapot, the tea goes below and the hot water above in an arrangement that not only saves space but keeps both ingredients hot. And the Norwegians have come up with a novel idea for the tea table, too. Topped with decorative ceramic tiles to match a set of cups, it eliminates the need for saucers! ROOM FOR A MAN This man's "room" by the Danish designer, Berge Mogensen, is a lavish all-teak escape hatch with a sit-down desk, stand-up drawing table, and lie-down bed and couch combination with an adjustable reading rack. As you see from these pages, Scandinavian ideas for the home are endless. From "Liekki" pots to this magnificent teak, their artists and craftsmen are continually inspiring and tempting the only-too-ready homeowner to show William Morris's high-minded good sense and "have nothing in your house which you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful." Products of the Design Cavalcade are carried by fine shops throughout the country. For further information write Scandinavian Travel Commission, Dept. S. T., Box 260, New York 17, New York.
