Raymond Loewy House – Palm Springs

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

The house was equipped with a custom Studebaker Avanti painted brown to match the house and parked in the driveway

Raymond Loewy Concept Sketches

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.
