UTDesign® Mentor Establishes Program’s First Endowment to Honor Recognized Industrial Designer

Theodore Waddell, born in 1930, was a globally recognized industrial designer.
Theodore Waddell’s original lamp was marketed in 1972, but he faced a number of obstacles with distribution.
UTDesign students updated the lamp to current technology. Brewster Waddell’s new company is now marketing the lamp series to retail and hospitality markets.
Brewster Waddell continues to serve the UTDesign program as a corporate mentor and volunteer judge.
