Artifact Overview

In 1977, "Julia's Kitchen: A Design Anatomy" was published as the first in a series of "design anatomies" by Design Quarterly. In this issue, designer Bill Stumpf and his team examined how Julia Child -- a chef well-versed in the functions of a kitchen -- designed her own kitchen. Numerous sketches and photographs, as well as hours of interviews with Paul and Julia Child, informed the issue.
