"Bruce, who worked with Noyes for around 10 years up to his death, knows his stuff. The text is conversational yet authoritative and the personal insights prove he was there. Discreetly designed with over 500 illustrations, it has a gorgeous back cover with an intriguing spider graph of Noyes' influence... Gropius said of Noyes that he was 'the only architect to make effective use of the Bauhaus' academic principles'. Read this and find out why."--Building Design "A great insight into Noyes' life, featuring extended interviews with many of his relatives and acquaintances, and bursting with colour photography, drawings plans and a diverse range of documentary material."--Wonderland "The story of the Bauhaus refugees' influence on American design is well known; but is is surely architect, educator and design consultant Eliot Noyes who warrants a place in history as the one who fed the Bauhaus system of 'total design' in the maw of corporate America."--Architecture Today "Biographies of the great American designers of the mid-20th century have a heroic quality that makes them different from those of other lands and eras... Noyes is less well known, yet his is a remarkable story... [A] combination of architecture with industrial design [...] made Noyes [...] well positioned to transform the image of American industry... This book is a fine tribute, beautifully designed, to a major player."--World of Interiors, "Bruce, who worked with Noyes for around 10 years up to his death, knows his stuff.

This is the first publication about Eliot Noyes (1910 77), an important figure in twentieth-century design in America.

The focus is on the ideas he eschewed throughout his life and the influence he exerted on the design world, This is the first publication about Eliot Noyes (1910-77), an important figure in twentieth-century design in America. His influential and successful career stretched from his position as the first Director of Industrial Design at MoMA in the 1940s to Consulting Director of Design for key businesses such as IBM, Mobil Oil and Westinghouse. This book traces Noyes' life and pioneering career, emphasizing his work for the corporate industries, to which he introduced key designers, artists and architects such as Paul Rand, Alexander Calder and Marcel Breuer, as well as his architectural projects and lectures. The focus is on the ideas he eschewed throughout his life and the influence he exerted on the design world, Eliot Noyes (1910-77) was a remarkable figure in twentieth-century design. An architect who began his career working in the office of Walter Gropius and Marcel Breuer, he went on to become the first Director of the Industrial Design department at MoMA in the 1940s. He was personally responsible for the design of some notable twentieth-century classics, such as IBM's Selectric typewriter and Mobil Oil's service stations and petrol pumps. His own work includes architectural projects, such as the award-winning Noyes family residence in Connecticut. The author has had extended access to the Noyes' archive of personal as well as business projects, materials and letters, and he has carried out extended interviews with a great deal of Noyes' acquaintances and relations. His comprehensive and lively text is accompanied by archival and new colour photography, drawings, plans and a diverse range of documentary material, much of which is previously unpublished.
