- Action Office Stand-up Desk, Used by D. J. DePree, 1964 - Action Office, conceptualized by Robert Propst with final design by George Nelson, was rooted in Propst's research into office function and worker behavior. The system was not a commercial success: manufacturing costs were high, and it was, in Propst's words, "too showy and bright for serious consideration as a middle management tool." Propst went on to design the hugely successful Action Office 2 cubicle-based system.

- Eames Molded Dining Chair - Husband-and-wife designers Charles and Ray Eames spent years experimenting with plywood in order to create a simple, low-cost, mass-producible chair. However, they found that molding plywood into a single combined seat and back was impractical and costly. They decided to separate the seat and back and used rubber shock mounts and adhesive to attach them. The chair caused a sensation, quickly becoming a symbol of modernism.
