Announcement by John Entenza in Arts & Architecture, January 1945:

the case study program

Because most opinion, both profound and light-headed, in terms of post war housing is nothing but speculation in the form of talk and reams of paper, it occurs to us that it might be a good idea to get down to cases and at least make a beginning in the gathering of that mass of material that must eventually result in what we know as “house – post war”.

Agreeing that the whole matter is surrounded by conditions over which few of us have any control, certainly we can develop a point of view and do some organized thinking which might come to a practical end. It is with that in mind that we now announce the project we have called THE “CASE STUDY” HOUSE PROGRAM.

Wired: Bertoia chair study by Herbert Matter-

The wire chair collection Harry Bertoia designed for knoll in 1950 was his only solo foray into furniture design (he worked on many important pieces at the Eames office in the early years). However, it’s not to say it wasn’t a successful one considering the chairs have been in continuous production since 1953! I think it’s safe to say he quit while he was ahead! Bertoia leaned more towards art than design for the rest of his career and became a successful sculptor.

Herbert Matter (also one time member of the Eames office) shot this image in 1952 whilst head of graphic design for Knoll International.
