Industrial designer extraordinaire – RAYMOND LOEWY (November 5, 1893 – July 14, 1986) We have always loved Raymond Loewy – a designers designer. Loewy was a true visionary – categorized as an Industrial designer he was so much more. Born and educated in Paris, he received a degree in engineering and in 1919 emigrated to the US. He started out creating windows for Macy’s and Saks which lead to a successful career as a fashion illustrator for Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Saks and Bonwit Teller. Ten years after his move to the US Lowey received his first commission utilizing his engineering skills which enabled him to start his own firm in 1930. During his lifetime he designed, created, developed and styled everything from cars, ships and planes to buildings, appliances, furniture, pens and toothbrushes. Two of Loewy’s designs from the 1960s have always fascinated us both since childhood - the Avanti and the DF-2000 cabinet. We recently completed a project in New York City where we channeled a bit of Loewy in two bedrooms. In a blue bedroom we designed a chest called Circle Drawer which is an homage to the Avanti – it utilizes the graphic power of 2 circles on a color field. In a green bedroom we used one of Loewys DF-2000 chests – the orange/red color gradation on the drawers served as inspiration for the floor to ceiling gradated head-board designed using painted wood, plexi-glass and fabric. The Avanti designed in 1961. It was only in production for 2 years (1962 and 1963) plagued with numerous production problems - they created less than 5,600 of these cars.

Architect: William Krisel Location: Las Vegas, NV Archive of William Krisel, Getty Research Institute Note the very different elevations for the same house. These had exactly the same floor plans, but Krisel has always thought it was important to offer variety in the elevations and roof styles, so that they did not appear identical, cookie-cutter when built in large tracts.
