Bill Stumpf, Julia Child, and the Anatomy of a Kitchen

Julia Child's kitchen fascinated home cooks and professional designers. In 1977, Bill Stumpf--an ergonomic design expert--featured Julia Child in Design Quarterly. The issue was the first in a series of "design anatomies," which explored how functional environments were designed organically by non-designers. Similarly, we often make thoughtful edits in our own homes, fine-tuning our workspaces in order to fine-tune our work.
