 Viktor Schreckengost pioneered industrial design for products from toys to dinnerware. Viktor Schreckengost, a Clevelander who ranked as one of the leading industrial designers of the 20th century, died Saturday night, Jan 26, 2008 at age 101.
In a career lasting more than 70 years, Schreckengost had an immense, if largely anonymous, influence on American life and popular culture.
His "Jazz Bowl," cast for Eleanor Roosevelt in the early 1930s, recently sold at auction for a quarter-million dollars. "No, I don't have one," he groused to Antiques & Collectables in 2001. He was such a genius as well as such a humble, nice person. He will be missed by this world. |
