Introduction
Industrial Design (Page2)
Some of Industrial Design's first
pioneers: Benjamin Franklin (1706 - 1790), Thomas Edison (1847 - 1931),
Henry Ford (1863 - 1947), followed by Raymond Loewy (1893 - 1986), Henry
Dreyfus (1904 - 1972) and Buckminster Fuller (1895 -1983) are all
prominent individuals in history who have helped shape the ID profession
and our perception and appreciation for industrial design excellence.
