Quotes On Industrial Design

The following passages are quoted from Teague's article, "A Quarter Century of Industrial Design in the United States," published in Art & Industry, London, 1951:

“In competitive markets success is measured not by quick, erratic profits, no matter how large, but by steady, dependable public support over a long period. Permanent success is achieved only by winning and holding public confidence.”

“We have not the slightest doubt that we are adding something of positive value to the American way of life. We are even augmenting the sum of total beauty in our world, and extending the appreciation of beauty into those realms where it is most vitally effective—the home, the factory, the shop and the street.”

Famous quotes containing the words quotes, industrial and/or design:

    Adulthood is the ever-shrinking period between childhood and old age. It is the apparent aim of modern industrial societies to reduce this period to a minimum.

    Westerners inherit
    A design for living
    Deeper into matter—
    Not without due patter
    Of a great misgiving.
