Drawing, Design for Regulator
This is a Drawing. It was designed by Henry Dreyfuss. It is dated October 21, 1949 and we acquired it in 1997. Its medium is graphite, color pencil, brush and white gouache, black ink (inscription) on tracing paper placed over blue print paper. It is a part of the Drawings, Prints, and Graphic Design department.
Numerous drawings leading up to the Honeywell Round Thermostat, completed in 1953, reveal Dreyfuss’s attention to user interaction. Some designs incorporate a clock face, giving the product an additional function.
