Henry Dreyfuss was an industrial designer born in 1904 in Brooklyn, New York who pioneered the field of ergonomics. He focused on applying anthropometric studies of the human body to design products that were usable, practical, and better suited to how people naturally used them. Some of his most famous designs included the John Deere tractor, Westclox Big Ben clock, Honeywell thermostat, and the Princess telephone. Dreyfuss authored several influential books and chaired an international standards committee, making major contributions to human factors and usability in product design.
