Marget Larsen, ad for Du Pont’s Color Council. As seen in Art Direction: The Magazine of Creative Advertising, vol. 11, no. 8, November 1959.

Larsen was super inventive in many ways – and, like most women in design history, criminally under-appreciated. We can’t wait to share more of her work.

Who the heck bought all of that mid-century furniture when it was new, anyway? Hyperallergic takes a look. (Hint: most of the modern designers were male & white.) More complex, the meaning of these designs can be found in how the designs were advertised, how they were used to advertise other products, and how they appeared in the media. https://hyperallergic.com/639763/mid-century-modernism-racial-history/?fbclid=IwAR1dKE4Ll6m2-vzYWOAM4QfCioXa4lwTo8lCAjM6tHlmi0vOXug3cmbdU78
