The Hoyt Group, Inc. was an industrial design and marketing consultancy firm established by Earl E. Hoyt, Jr. (1936-2024). Hoyt was introduced to design at an early age. His mother was a talented textile designer who worked at her drawing board at home for additional income. At a very young age, Hoyt wrote to General Motors to explain his interest in designing cars. He received a return letter and was introduced to the term "Industrial Designer." After graduating from Pratt Institute, he began his career in Donald Deskey's New York office. Hoyt's career is well documented in this small collection. The collection is divided into four series: Series I. Clients and Projects; Series II. Sketches; Series III. Design Models; Series IV. Products/Packaging.
