Dear Colleagues,
Dinesh Korjan kindly sent information on a report produced
by Charles and Ray Eames involving issues comparable to
the design policy studies being done today.
It is available at URL:

Dinesh writes,
"Your report make very interesting reading. Many of the issues
that you describe about Estonia is equally applicable in India
especially about the plight of product / industrial designers and
the perception of design as an area of uncertain benefits for
investment. I thought you might be interested in knowing how
Charles Eames approached the matter when he was invited by
Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru in 1958 for setting up India's first
Design Centre for Research, Service and Training."
Best regards,
Ken Friedman
