Charles
Harrison,
an industrial designer at Sears, Roebuck & Company for more than
three decades, improved the quality of life of millions of Americans
through the extraordinary breadth and innovation of his product
designs.
One
of the first African Americans to enter the design field, Harrison
began working for Sears in 1961 and eventually became the
company’s Chief Designer.
During
his distinguished career, Harrison maintained an unwavering
commitment to the needs of the average consumer, creating an
astonishing 750 products—from radios and sewing machines to hair
dryers—for nearly every area of the home. Among his most iconic
designs are the first-of-its-kind plastic garbage can, a lighter,
more durable alternative to its metal counterpart; and a redesign of
the now classic View-Master. Harrison currently teaches design at
Columbia College in Chicago. |
