Frederick Charles Ward (1900–1990) was a furniture and interior designer in Australia.[1] Ward worked with native wood in his long career.[2]
His designs were installed in the creation of the Australian National University campus, where he also served as the first head of the design unit.[3][1]
Ward was commissioned to design furniture for prominent public buildings, including the National Library, and the Australian pavilion at Expo '67, Montreal, Quebec.
He acted as a design consultant to the Reserve Bank in Sydney.[4] He was consulted by the Department of Aircraft Production in production of timber-framed aircraft during WWII; this type of construction was used for the Beaufighter and the Mosquito Bomber.[5]
Ward was one of the founders of the Society of Designers for Industry, which later became the Design Institute of Australia.[3]
