This is the first Good Design exhibition in New York. It is the outgrowth of a long development.

In 1938 the Museum of Modern Art inaugurated yearly selections of the best modern design in home fur

nishings available to the American public; twelve years ago the show (called Useful Ob |ects) was

limited in scope and modestly presented. Today, a comprehensive selection and a fitting presentation

have become possible thanks to the generous sponsorship of The Merchandise Mart, Chicago, a vast

building devoted to housing wholesale commerce.

The products shown here were selected from designs new during the year, for their excellent ap

pearance and their progressive performance. Designers and manufacturers have donated them most

liberally. Retail stores and approximate prices in New York are listed for the convenience of visitors

to the exhibition.

The selections were made from the great national home furnishings wholesale markets held tn

Chicago twice yearly. Last winter, Meyric R. Rogers, Curator of Decorative and Industrial Arts at the

Art Institute of Chicago, and Alexander Girard, the young architect who had recently directed the De

troit Institute of Arts' first and very successful show of modern home furnishings, joined me to form

the first Good Design Selection Committee. The articles chosen were placed on display in a large

space donated by The Merchandise Mart, Chicago, amid settings brilliantly designed by Ray and

Charles Eames, who came from Los Angeles especially for this. The exhibition was embel I ished by

important works of art which the Art Institute of Chicago loaned for the occasion. Good Design thus

was launched at the core of American commerce. The traders came to see and remained to praise. A new

and crucial audience was gained for progressive modern design.

The exhibition remains on view in The Merchandise Mart, Chicago, throughout the year. After

market weeks it is open to the public who visit The Mart on guided tours. They too have voiced ap

proval there.

For the Summer Market Serge Chermayeff, Director of the Institute of Design of Illinois Institute

of Technology, and Berthold Strauss, one of Philadelphia's most forward-looking manufacturers, served

with me on a new Selection Committee. Good Design doubled in size. Again we found a generous re

sponse from visitors. Across the country, retail stores have made feature displays of the Good Design

selections. This intensive activity has, throughout, received the support of The Merchandise Mart under

the leadership of its owner Joseph P. Kennedy, recently American Ambassador to Great Britain.

Now a culminating selection has been made to fit the Good Design exhibition of 1950 into the

halls of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Ray and Charles Eames have designed new back

grounds for the Museum related to those in Chicago. We hope you will like Good Design. In 1951 we

will recommence this yearly round of activities.
