Peter Muller-Munk Associates
Peter Muller-Munk Associates (known as PMMA) was an American industrial design firm that flourished in Pittsburgh under the direction of its name partner, beginning after the Second World War. PMMA's clients were scattered throughout the world and they touched almost every aspect of industrial design, especially consumer goods. Local clients included the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company, Westinghouse, and US Steel. Peter Muller-Munk Associates were hired by US Steel to work on the general aesthetic design for the Unisphere, the theme center of the 1964 New York World's Fair.
Peter Müller-Munk (June 25, 1904 – March 13, 1967) was a German who emigrated to the United States in 1926. He began his career as a metalworker at Tiffany's in New York in 1926. Muller-Munk dropped the umlaut due to the negative connotations associated with German names at the outbreak of the Second World War. He moved to Pittsburgh in 1935〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=U.S. Postal Service gives Pittsburgh pioneer stamp of approval )〕 to accept a job at the Carnegie Institute of Technology as assistant professor in the first American university baccalaureate degree program in industrial design. In 1938 he opened his first consulting office in Pittsburgh with Robert Paul Karlen as his first employee. Industry accounts had so expanded by 1945 that he found it necessary to resign from Carnegie Tech to devote time to his business. At the time, he began operating under the name Peter Muller-Munk Associates with Karlen and Raymond Smith as associates. Anton Parisson became the fifth partner in 1957. In 1956 Ernst Budke became an associate of the firm. By 1960 there were five partners and six associates.
Despite Muller-Munk's commercial success and his pioneering efforts to establish industrial design as a serious course of post-secondary study, PMMA's profile declined and almost disappeared in the history of modern design. Recently, interested in the firm's work has grown. In 2015 the Carnegie Museum of Art organized a monographic exhibition dedicated to the designer and his work, with the aim of supplementing design histories that traditionally focused almost exclusively on the American east and west coasts.〔
