Aesthetics harmonizing with functionality. Delightfully vintage video The American Look from 1958. Design for the home, office and everywhere. A look at the creative process of a design studio is also included. 28 mins.
All the men in suits brings to mind Ellen Lupton's fantastic exhibition/book Mechanical Brides about women and design.
