Dorwin Teague holds over 90 U.S. patents, and his product designs include gas ranges to dental chairs, machine tools to bicycles, vacuum cleaners to desk lamps, cash registers to ski poles. His approach to design is intuitive and holistic, and he has always looked for the simplest, most effective solution to a problem. In this book, he explains the thought processes that got him there. Both a history of industrial design and the memoir of a man who sought adventure and loved a good time, this book includes over 400 photos and illustrations which serve as a historical record of his time and life.
