Unimark International was innovative in expanding boundaries of
design, business, and technology in the 1960s and early ’70s, sometimes
leaping ahead of the norm by decades. Unimark International deserves
recognition for its influence in a specific era of design history and
for many ideas and achievements—in the United States, Europe, Africa,
and South America—that have continuing validity beyond that era and
beyond the profession of design. Notable American clients include Ford,
JCPenney, American Airlines, New York Transit Authority, Knoll,
Panasonic, Target, Memorex, and Gillette.
