An example of a college dormitory room for two female students, with two ghostly blurred models superimposed on the image. All of the furniture and fabrics are from Knoll Associates. The bed, which also function as seating, are low to allow for more comfortable seating. They are covered with black-and-white cotton tweed bedspreads by Craig, and multiple brightly colored square pillows. The square table behind the beds is a a lift-top table to allow for storage of linens and blankets; both this table and the round Noguchi table are both covered with tough white laminated plastic. The lift-top table holds a white lamp for two by Versen. All the chairs are Bertoia wire of white vinyl on steel, with yellow cushions. At the right side of the room, are two identical desks, each with a Nessen desk lamp. Throughout the space are bright enamel ashtrays, also by Knoll Associates. On the back wall is a maple-framed bulletin board by Knoll Associates as well.
