Description:

In 1956, IBM tapped
the industrial designer and architect Eliot F. Noyes to reinvent the company's
corporate image, from stationery and curtains to typewriters and computers to
laboratory and administration buildings. IBM would go on to assemble a cast of
leading figures in American design, including Charles Eames, Paul Rand, George
Nelson, and Edgar Kaufmann Jr., who transformed the relationships between
design, computer science, and corporate culture. The Interface is the first
critical history of the industrial design of the computer and an invaluable
perspective on the computer and corporate cultures of today.
