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documentary material, much of which is previously unpublished.
