Responding to unprecedented public and industry demand for new styles, these artists entered the industrial world during what was called the Machine Age, to introduce Modern design to the external appearance and form of mass-produced, functional, mechanical, consumer products, formerly not considered art. The popular, modern designs by these Machine Designers increased sales and profits dramatically for manufacturers, which helped the economy to recover; established a new profession, industrial design; and within a decade, changed the fact of American products from mechanical monstrosities into sleek, modern forms expressive of the future. This book is about those few dozen industrial designers, and how they founded, developed, educated, and organised todays profession of 50,000 practitioners, who design all those attractive and useful products you love. Author Biography Carroll Gantz is a professional industrial designer who holds several dozen patents. A long-time Black & Decker design director, and a Carnegie Mellon University professor, he is a past president of the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA). He lives on Seabrook Island in South Carolina.
