A 2014 academic article is focused on Warder, its abstract follows. A Study on the Interior Design Offices Founded by American Military Officers (Part 2) AIDIA, 77-81 2014/11 Setsuko Katayama This study aims to make clear the existence and their specific characteristics of the interior design offices founded by American Military Officers in Japan. I investigated two interior design offices, which were established in the 1950s. Only a few people knew about them, but their American design methods had an effect on the Japanese interior design after the Second World War. This paper deals with one office, Mildred Warder. There was a showroom in the office which was decorated in an oriental style, or so-called Japonica style, which was favored then by American clients. However, what Warder Office pursued was not an eclectic style but was based on the design concept of William Morris, which respected the authentic hand-made techniques and arts. In addition, Warder Office was involved in developing some new technologies.
