Don Harley Presents: Product Design Concepts

A series of product designs dating from the 1950s through the 1980s, the result of the creative energies of the entrepreneurial Don Harley, a St. Paul native, comprise this exhibition. Harley initiated hundreds of designs to shape the products his clients were developing for the companies he either owned or represented. The sketches from his companies' drawing boards range from office products to toys to snowblowers. These presentation drawings are notable for their skilled draftsmanship.
