One hit wonders in design history…
Some designers do just one thing and then abandon.
Some of them decided to become interior designers or architects and some simply decided to do something completely different.
For one reason or another Clay Michie seems to have created only the Model No. 8 desk light, for Knoll Associates in 1950. No more information is to be had about him.
