Early Life and Education
Henry Dreyfuss was born in New York City in 1904. He studied architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, but soon realized that he was more interested in designing products for people. In 1929, he established his own design firm, Henry Dreyfuss Associates.
Human Factors Engineering
Dreyfuss was one of the first designers to apply the principles of human factors engineering to the design of everyday products. He believed that products should be easy to use, comfortable to operate, and safe. He conducted extensive research on the human body and mind to understand how people interact with products.
One of Dreyfuss's most famous designs is the telephone. In the 1930s, he redesigned the Bell System's telephone to make it more comfortable to hold and use. He also added a dial that was easier to operate than the old rotary dial.
