Jane Thompson passed away last month. She was an acolyte of Philip Johnson at the Museum of Modern Art, a founding co-editor of Industrial Design, an urban planner at Benjamin Thompson & Associates, a guiding force at Design Research, and finally the Principle of the Thomp-son Design Group. She left her fingerprints all over American culture.

Her Obituary in the August 26, 2016 New York Times quotes Carol Stocker of The Boston Globe from 1979, “Ben and Jane Thompson have made their mark on Boston, and it is a deep dent in the city’s Puritan tradi-tion of sensory restraint.”

Speaking for herself in an interview two years ago with Boston Magazine, Mrs. Thompson said, “We woke people up to the value of waterfront land for social, recreational and commercial uses.”

At Benjamin Thompson & Associates in Cambridge she worked on mas-ter plans for the Grand Central Terminal and 34th Street business im-provement districts in New York, and on the redevelopment of Navy Pier in Chicago.

The Thompsons were also partners in the Cambridge restaurant Harvest, which opened in 1975, decades before the “farm to table” movement. She said her mother furnished the restaurant’s vegetable bins and herb racks directly from her garden in Barnstable on Cape Cod.

If you've ever spent an afternoon at the Faneuil Hall Marketplace, shopped at one of the long-shuttered Design Research stores, enjoyed a cool breeze at the Harborplace in Baltimore or the South Street Seaport in New York, you have experienced Jane Thompson's transformative vision of America.

Her vision of American culture paid little respect to traditional boundaries as her editorial focus for the first four years of Industrial Design attests. Ralph Caplan, who became the editor in 1959, credited the magazine’s success in part to its having tackled subjects beyond product design, including architecture, graphics and interiors.

Again from the Times: “What Jane provided was what corporations all think they need: a mission statement,” Mr. Caplan said. “Ben seemed to know instinctively which taste would sell, and to whom. She took advan-tage of this and made Design Research closer to what you would think of today as a brand.”

This catalog features a selection of Industrial Design from its debut in 1954 with Alvin Lustig's dynamic covers and layouts, through its formative years, until our arbitrary ending point in 1959; and stands as our tribute to a remarkable lady who lived a remarkable life.

Jane Fisk Mitarachi [Editor], Alvin Lustig [Art Director] 1 INDUSTRIAL DESIGN: FEBRUARY 1954 SOLD

New York: Whitney Publications, Inc., Volume 1, Number 1.

Side-stitched perfect bound wrappers. 152 pp. Articles and ad-vertisements. Multiple paper stocks. Elaborate graphic design throughout. Cover and editorial design by Alvin Lustig. Wrappers lightly worn and soiled with a clean parallel crease to the spine edge, but a very good or better copy.

ORIGINAL EDITION. “A design icon doesn’t come along every day. To be so considered it must not only transcend its function and stand the test of time, but also must represent the time in which it was produced. The cover of Industrial Design (Volume 1, Number 1) was not just the emblem of a new publishing venture, but a testament to one man’s modernism; one of the last works created by Alvin Lustig (1915 –1955), who suf-fered an untimely death from diabetes in 1955 at the age of forty-five.”

“Despite failing vision, Lustig was deeply involved in the design of the first two and nominally with the third issues of the magazine as art edi-tor, art director, and art consultant, respectively. He saw his role as the framer of ideas that were visual in nature. Although he never had the chance to develop his basic design concepts further, he left behind a modern design icon ‘the cover’ and a format that continued to define the magazine for years after.” —Steve Heller

Former I.D. editor Ralph Caplan recounted the magazines birth: “Fifty years ago, the publisher Charlie Whitney ran into Henry Dreyfuss. ‘Henry,’ he said, ‘I’m about to publish a magazine for industrial designers.’ ‘Wonderful,’ Henry replied. ‘There are 14 of us.’ Caplan remembered, “I.D. was not begun as a magazine for industrial designers, but as a mag-azine for anyone who had a stake in design and cared about it. This allowed a great deal of editorial latitude.”

ORIGINAL EDITION. Features Machines that Make Music by Eric Larra-bee: Giants of the music industry in 1954 were wondering how import-ant “high-fidelity” really was.

“Industrial Design was the brainchild of publisher Charles Whitney, who also published the successful Interiors. In 1953 he was convinced by his friend and advisor George Nelson that the time was right to introduce a specialized periodical devoted to practitioners of this burgeoning field. Interiors was already featuring its own industrial design column that had evolved into a discrete section, which Whitney realized had commer-cial potential as a spinoff. Interiors was also so beautifully designed that Industrial Design could have no less the visual panache of a coffee table book/magazine, replete with foldouts and slipsheets, not unlike the legendary design magazine Portfolio, published between 1949 and 1951. To accomplish this an eminent art director was sought. This was the age of great magazine art directors—including Alexey Brodovitch, Alexander Liberman, Otto Storch, Cipe Pineles, and Alan Hurlburt—and Whitney fervently believed that a magazine's design would be the de-ciding factor in its success. Hence Lustig was entrusted with consider-able authority to design the magazine as he saw fit.”

[Art X = The Georgia Experiment] 5 INDUSTRIAL DESIGN: OCTOBER 1954 $150

Side-stitched perfect bound wrappers. 144 pp. Articles and ad-vertisements. Multiple paper stocks. Elaborate graphic design throughout. Wrappers lightly worn and soiled, slight waviness from improper storage, but a very good or better copy.

ORIGINAL EDITION. Features Art X = The Georgia Experiment of which Ray Eames said, “The Georgia Experiment [was] how to improve the teaching of design, and art, really, it was art. George Nelson and ourselves were involved and, instead of making a report, we made a film. Or rather, we put together an hour program made up of film and slides and words and clips of other films. It was intended as an example of how material could be used to give a base for student and teacher from which to develop and expand—not use up all the time, step by step, all of the teacher's time and the student's time. And that was shown. But we want-ed examples. For instance, we chose the subject of communications, be-cause we were all interested in that and thought we would find little clips of things that would explain it and help it. We couldn't find any. We had just a terrible waste of time looking at catalogues, trying to find films and finding that it took forty-five minutes to get to a point which was not made clearly. So that's when we decided we'd have to do some-thing ourselves. And then later, Alexander Girard was called in and put on this —did you ever hear of the Sample Lesson? It was shown first in Georgia, then at U.C.L.A. You know, it's like a club, the people who have seen it and the people who haven't seen it.”
