Albert Kahn Postage
Stamp Is Proposed
T

he Albert Kahn Legacy
Foundation, a nonprofit based
in Detroit, has submitted a
proposal to the U.S. Postal Service
to create a stamp in his honor to cel-
ebrate the 100th anniversary of the
Ford Rouge Glass Plant, widely rec-
ognized as one of the most superbly
designed industrial structures of the
20th century.
Kahn was tapped by Henry Ford
to design his massive Highland Park
factory where the moving assembly
line was introduced to manufacture
the Model T.
Then, Kahn was tapped to design
Ford’s River Rouge factory complex,
the largest manufacturing facility in
the world. Kahn’s streamlined fac-

tories featuring open, column-less
spaces, glass walls and operable
skylights not only revolutionized
industrial design but also served as
seminal inspirations for the Bauhaus
modernist movement.
Kahn is commonly referred to as
the “Father of Modern Industrial
Design.” His designs and techniques
were used by architects and engi-
neers globally.
Kahn was born in Germany into
a Jewish family in 1869. He immi-
grated to the U.S. in 1881 and died
in 1942.
The foundation suggests that the
stamp could be part of a series on
great architects, successful immi-
grants or innovators.
