Dreyfuss, design, and human factors: a brief history of how a renowned industrial designer pioneered the use of anthropometric measures in product design

摘要

The industrial design profession in the United States traces its origin to the late 1920s, when design offices were founded in New York City by Norman Bel Geddes, Walter Dorwin Teague, Henry Dreyfuss, and Raymond Loewy. Bel Geddes and his former understudy Dreyfuss had experienced considerable success in theatrical design, as had Teague in the field of graphic design; only Loewy, born in France, had any background in engineering.
