Spare, aesthetically pleasing, with a near maniacal focus on ease of use, Mr. Grange's creations modernized the look, feel and routine of daily life, especially in Britain from waking up, to switching on a lamp, to a tidy shave, to a puree for breakfast and then the commute to work, by taxi or train.
He created products that assumed such a rare cultural significance that they ultimately became icons. Mr. Grange, a founder of the global design firm Pentagram, began his career in the late 1950s, when consumers started seeking out more lively, colorful and sleek products than the dowdy and chunky objects that personified consumer and home goods from the Victorian era well into World War II.
