Industry Standard: 20th Century Industrial Design
Industry Standard: 20th Century Industrial Design is a celebration of the design of everyday objects of the 20th century from cameras, to tools, to kitchen gadgets, to office equipment. The oldest object is an Underwood typewriter from 1901, and the most recent is a juicer from 1990. This particular typewriter was the most in demand piece of office equipment from 1901 to the 1930s. It was the early 20th century’s equivalent to an ipad in 2013. Among the other treasures are clocks by two of the most influential designers of the century, Kem Weber and Henry Dreyfus. All the objects demonstrate sensitivity to both beauty and function.
