The installation for the Henry Dreyfuss exhibition was created for the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum. Six case studies of the industrial design work of Henry Dreyfuss and Associates were featured, including the John Deere tractor of 1941 and the Honeywell round thermostat of 1953.

The design presents a wide range of information with an economy of means, in harmony with Dreyfuss’s overall approach to design. Simply proportioned white panels display the objects, removing them from the dark interiors of the nineteenth-century Andrew Carnegie mansion that houses the National Design Museum. Sketches by Dreyfuss retrieved from microfilm were silkscreened on the walls to highlight his design process. The exhibition graphics use the typeface Nobel and reflect a period feeling while emphasizing Dreyfuss’s favorite geometric form, the circle.
