She worked as the design director of Galper-Baldon Associates, headquartered in Venice, California.[1] Baldon is credited with having a profound effect on the California furniture industry with her outdoor furniture designs.[2] BiographyBaldon was born in Leavenworth, Washington,[2] but her family lived in the small community of Peshastin, Washington.[2] She moved to California, where she attended and graduated from Woodbury University.[2] Baldon formed the partnership of Galper-Baldon Associates, a landscape architectural design firm, with Sid Grapher. Baldon oversaw virtually all the projects for Galper-Baldon Associates, with the exception of landscape plantings.[3] In 1985, Baldon told the Los Angeles Times that "I don't understand plants."[3] Her partner Sid Galper was the horticulturist. Baldon designed over 3,000 swimming pools in Southern California and held a design patent for the contour spa with ergonomic underwater seating. She has been credited with the development of the lap pool, which she claimed to have introduced to California in 1970.[1] Aside from her architectural work, Baldon designed furniture and formed the California company Terra with Galper-Baldon partner Sid Galper. The company manufactured and sold quality outdoor furniture.[3] Baldon was married to novelist, screenwriter and film director Ib Melchior, with whom she co-authored the non-fiction books Reflections on the Pool: California Designs for Swimming and Steps & Stairways. He was the son of operatic tenor and movie star Lauritz Melchior. Baldon died on October 12, 2014. She and her husband, who survived her, resided in the Hollywood Hills.[3] Baldon's husband Melchior died on March 14, 2015 at the age of 97.[4] References1. ^1 {{cite news|first=|last=|title=The splashiest history |url=http://articles.latimes.com/2007/aug/16/home/hm-pooltrivia16 |work=Los Angeles Times |publisher= |date=2007-08-16|accessdate=2011-10-02}} {{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Baldon, Cleo}}2. ^{{cite book|last1=Armstrong|first1=Alice Catt|last2=Vitale|first2=Sarah Alice|title=Who's Who in California, Volume 13|publisher=Who's Who Historical Society|url=https://books.google.com/?id=RtkjAQAAIAAJ&dq=%22Baldon%2C+Cleo%22&q=%22Baldon%2C+Cleo%22|accessdate=21 April 2015}} 3. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 {{cite news|first=|last=|title=Designing Women |url=http://articles.latimes.com/1985-02-24/news/ho-24531_1_interior-design|work=Los Angeles Times |publisher= |date=1985-02-24|accessdate=2011-10-02}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/ib-melchior-dead-robinson-crusoe-782749|title=Ib Melchior Dead: 'Robinson Crusoe on Mars' Screenwriter Was 97|author=Mike Barnes|work=The Hollywood Reporter|accessdate=March 18, 2015}} 18 : American landscape architects|American furniture designers|American landscape and garden designers|1927 births|2014 deaths|Women landscape architects|Architects from Los Angeles|California people in design|Swimming pools|Woodbury University alumni|People from Leavenworth, Washington|People from Hollywood, Los Angeles|People from Venice, Los Angeles|20th-century American architects|21st-century American architects|20th-century American women artists|21st-century American women artists|People from Chelan County, Washington |
