- FEATURES
- Exterior: The four-story, circular flow building is the only exhibit at the Fair devoted exclusively to home furnishings. The second and third floors have a glass-enclosed observation area set up as a lounge where visitors may rest their weary feet and enjoy a colorful, panoramic vista of the Fair.
-
-
- Interior: The first and third floors house the exhibits of 125 manufacturers of furniture, floor coverings, lamps and draperies. There is also a special Designers' Gallery in which department stores have decorated rooms indigenous to the region in which the particular store is located.
- The second floor, sponsored by the American Institute of Interior Designers, contains exhibits of the architectural or decorating professions. There will be 14 rooms, each by a different chapter of the A.I.D.
- The fourth floor accommodates exhibits of summer and casual furniture, as well as exhibits by various museums. This floor also houses a private lounge and restaurant for exhibitors, their clients and friends.
- Other features of the Pavilion of American Interiors include the Cooper Union's "History of Seating Through the Ages". The Museum of Contemporary Crafts demonstrates the scope and vitality of American craft expressions with actual craftsmen at work. Pratt Institute projects ideas of using residential space in the year 2,000, and the Fine Hardwoods Association presents "Design Unlimited for a Better Life".
Information Centers are on each of the four floors. They furnish exhibitor data on products, such as price, availability, dealers or distributors anywhere in the country.
