<p>From 1939 to 1949, British furniture was tightly government-controlled: furniture purchases were rationed (you can see a copy of a furniture ration card used as flooring here), design materials limited, and actual designs restricted to approved, utilitarian designs designed to maximize efficient material use and reserve materials for use in the war effort.<br />
<br />
Britain ended the ration scheme in 1949, but kept the tight government controls on designs in place; but they let furniture designs take some creative license while staying within the requirements of material use, so several designers came up with innovative and stylish designs that used the same basic plywood and limited, tapered wood, such as this prototype from Morris in 1949 (actual manufactured Morris Cloud Table prototypes in good condition are now quite valuable).</p>
