This comprehensive book examines the work of celebrated modernist industrial designer Peter Muller-Munk, an international leader in his field during the mid-twentieth century. This groundbreaking book situates Peter Muller-Munk (1904-1967), a German émigré to the U.S., among the most influential designers of his generation. It presents the untold story of a man who rose from anonymity as a young silversmith at Tiffany &amp; Co. to become a crucial postwar designer, promoting the practice of industrial design across the globe through one of the top design consultancies in America: Peter Muller-Munk Associates (PMMA). This generously illustrated book begins<br>with Muller-Munk's remarkable Art Deco silver and provides<br>new context for his best-known designs: the streamlined<br>Normandie pitcher and Waring waterfall blender. But the<br>revelation comes in his previously undocumented work:<br>memorable products like cameras, radios, cocktail shakers,<br>power tools, and refrigerators; and total environments for gas<br>stations, international expositions, and mass-transit vehicles.<br>Muller-Munk's prestigious clients included Bell &amp; Howell,<br>Westinghouse, U.S. Steel, Texaco, and Schick. This compelling<br>overview of Muller-Munk's life and impressive legacy is<br>punctuated by colorful case studies of his firm's contributions<br>to wide-ranging aspects of mid-century life.
