We've spent some time raiding the latest internet time sink--Google's archive of previously-unseen Life Magazine photos. There's three pages of film on Raymond Loewy, who was apparently quite the partier (check out his crib, above).
This, friends, is the Grandfather of Industrial Design's bathroom, circa 1949.
Loewy laying in the cut: Behind the wheel of his Lincoln Continental concept car with a plexi roof.
The Loewy Crib in Palm Springs featured an indoor/outdoor pool studded with natural rock formations.
Hit the jump to see the rest.

I cant tell for sure, but that appears to be a real Kadinski in the background of the seventh photo.
Which would make sense.
And another piece I don't recognize, but is pretty darn avante garde for 1949, hanging above the fireplace in the ninth photo.
that pool and place in general looks like place where The Party was filmed with peter sellers as a main actor

Now that's the way I want to live!
that's not the house from The Party. That one was more modern, less rustic, had a much larger yard and was most probably a purpose-built set design, as no one would ever let stunts like that go on in a real live home (I used to work in film and know first-hand the damage a film crew can inflict on a real home, even without stunts like in The Party). But it does look like a real Kandinsky in the BG and the pool is reminiscent of the swim-up-to-the-poker-table pool at the Vegas Tropicana when I was a kid.
Now this exactly why I got into design. Living large and Phat Pimpin' How old was Loewy when he got that successful? I still got a long way to go from my one bedroom apartment...
Here is the key bro. 1. have an accent. 2. build a successful design company preferably with your name on it. 3. Write about your self and how awesome your designs are or even better get other people to do it for you. 4. Hang out with Celebrities so that you will be photographed with them. 5. ware lots of bling. And you too can become an Iconic designer That "lives Large"
