}}David Whitfield Lewis (19 February 1939 – 8 November 2011) was a British industrial designer. He is best known for his work for Bang & Olufsen. He was a distinguished member of Royal Designers for Industry. Several of the products he designed are included in the MoMA permanent collection of design.[1]

Life

David Whitfield Lewis was born in London. He wanted to become a furniture designer, but the class at London’s Central School of Art and Design was full. So instead he decided on an education as an industrial designer [2]. He had a keen interest in Danish design and architecture.

He met a Danish au pair, who would later become his wife. The couple moved to Denmark in the 1960s.[3]

Design

Lewis founded David Lewis Designers in Copenhagen, and from this studio he would live to design an impressive range of products. In the early 1980s, Bang & Olufsen made David Lewis their chief designer. This unique freelance relationship resulted in numerous international design icons. Lewis was the man of the studio, with his sparkling creativity and vitality always very involved with projects. His fellow claim that he had the ability to turn things upside down and chase the yet unseen. He brought a tireless desire to change the conventions and to go new ways. 'He never asked “Why?” but always “Why not?”'
