Belle Kogan

In July 1932, she opened her own office at 185 Madison Avenue in New York City with a retainer from Quaker and started designing houseware products for Libbey Glass, Federal Glass, US Glass, Towle Mfg. Co., Maryland Plastics, and Bakelite Corp. Five years later, she traveled throughout Europe to study trends in Scandinavian design and by 1939 found herself at the forefront of modern design in the United States.
