First and only edition. – With handwritten dedication and drawing (female nude) by Henry Dreyfuss. – „10 YEARS ago Henry Dreyfuss began designing for industry. The following pages-a small portion of the designs he has made – will suggest the connection between his work and the progress of industrial design as a whole.“ – Henry Dreyfuss (1904-1972) „is known for designing the Western Electric Model 500 telephone, the Westclox Big Ben alarm clock, and the Honeywell T87 Round Thermostat. Dreyfuss, a native of Brooklyn, New York City, is one of the celebrity industrial designers of the 1930s and 1940s who pioneered his field. Dreyfuss dramatically improved the look, feel, and usability of dozens of consumer products. Sometimes compared to Raymond Loewy and other contemporaries, Dreyfuss was much more than a stylist; he applied common sense and a scientific approach to design problems, making products more pleasing to the eye and hand, safer to use, and more efficient to manufacture and repair. His work helped popularize the role of the industrial designer while also contributing significant advances to the fields of ergonomics, anthropometrics and human factors.“ (Wikipedia). – Fronts slightly brown-stained, otherwise very well preserved.
