About the Author

Henry Dreyfuss won worldwide acclaim for his pioneering role in shaping industrial design in the United States, opening his first industrial design office in 1929 in New York. His influential designs set the basic styles in their fields, running the gamut of American industry—Polaroid cameras, Hoover vacuum cleaners, the Bankers Trust building, layout designs for Time, and many more projects, large and small. In 1969 he devoted himself to a new career as corporate advisor to such clients as American Airlines, AT&T, Deere & Company, Hallmark Cards, and the Polaroid Corporation. His other books include Designing for People and Measure of Man.
