Airplanes, cameras,
glassware, mimeograph
machines, gas stations and
missiles.
What this unlikely group of
items have in common is that
all were products assigned
to Walter Dorwin Teague and
his son for design changes.
Their clients included
Kodak, A. B. Dick,
Steuben's, Boeing, Texaco
and Steinway Pianos.
Walter Teague is the man who
came up with the idea of
covering the exterior of
Texaco gas stations in white
porcelain, a familiar sight
in the 1930s-50s. He
was also the designer of
Kodak's first Brownie
cameras, and Polaroid's
first Land camera.
Teague Associates continues
in operation today, based in
Seattle, Washington, working
with Hewlett-Packard,
Microsoft and Boeing.
