Raymond Loewy Concept Sketches
December 18, 2008
Mr. Raymond Loewy
I found these amazing concept design sketches by industrial designer Raymond Loewy. Mr Loewy is know for his iconic designs such as the Coca-Cola bottle, the GG1 Locomotive, the Studebaker Avanti, and the Lucky Stripe cigarette package (which hasn’t changed since 1942!) I love the loose hand and perspective of these beautiful sketches.

Loewy's T1 Locamotive
The Invisible Agent 
The steam locomotive illustrated as “Loewy’s GG1” is misnamed; that locomotive is NOT a GG1 (which was an electric locomotive). The illustration shows a “T1” locomotive.

Thanks so much! You are absolutely right. I will be sure to correct the caption.

Mr. Loewy was indeed a brilliant industrial designer.
