Great old Coca-Cola commercial from the 1950’s. I love the streamline Coke fountain in the commercial that was designed by Raymond Loewy.

Raymond Loewy had an amazing house in Palm Springs.  Check it out below.

Antique Bakelite Radios

March 21, 2009

Catalin Radio.com has an incredible website with lots of images and information on antique radios from the 1920’s-1950’s.  I’m obsessed with these antique Bakelite radios.  It’s no wonder why these radios are so highly sought after and collectible.

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.
