Helen Dryden Industrial Designer
Helen Dryden was an American artist and successful industrial designer in the 1920s and 1930s. She was reportedly described by The New York Times as being the highest-paid woman artist in the United States. Following the 1925 Paris Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes, Dryden turned her attention to industrial design, producing many designs for tableware, lamps, and other housewares for the Revere Corporation. She had a highly paid job with the Dura Company until the stock market crash of 1929. At this point, she was replaced by George W. Walker. It seems Dryden never fully recovered from this blow. Christopher Gray wrote, the 1925 census recorded her living at 9 East 10th Street with her 25-year-old Philippine-born cook and butler, Ricardo Lampitok. Dryden worked for Studebaker from 1935 to 1938, reportedly earning $100,000 per year ($2,164,539 in 2023 dollars. Automotive designer Raymond Loewy contracted with her to help him design Studebaker interiors. Her work on the interior of the 1936 Studebaker Dictator and President that established Helen Dryden as an important twentieth-century industrial designer. The advertisements by the automaker proclaimed, "It's styled by Helen Dryden." Dryden designed the Studebaker President throughout, and the press marveled that a woman had attained this eminence in mechanical engineering. Studebaker described the interior of the 1937 cars as "refreshingly ventilated and generously roomy, …tastefully and distinctively styled by famous Helen Dryden, America's "first lady" of design." Similar advertisements mentioning Helen Dryden by name appeared in popular magazines and many newspapers, an unusual effort "to publicize a specific designer, especially a woman, in car advertising" at that time. She was considered "one of the top industrial designers and one of the few women in the automotive field." Dryden worked with Loewy through 1940.
