It corresponds to the initial moment of the functionalism as a suitable instrument to confront the severe problems of the mass. Clarita Porset is an unquestionable figure between the professionals and professors who educated the first industrial designers generations at the National Self Governing University of Mexico. She was a woman with a big aesthetic sensitivity and social conscience.
