Raymond Loewy: Designs for a Consumer Culture @ Museum of Design

Opening Reception: To be announced
This engaging exhibition will celebrate the life's work of the father of American Industrial Design: Raymond Loewy. Audiences will travel through the evolution of Loewy's design career and at the same time experience the technological boom associated with mid-twentieth century America. From Loewy's early advertising illustrations, through his works in transportation design for household names such as Greyhound buses, United Airlines, and the Pennsylvania Railroad, to his famous household products including the Sears Coldspot refrigerator created during the post-war era, Loewy's ingenious skill for creating functional yet fabulous design shines through. Some objects in the exhibition will be drawn from the Smithsonian Institution collection.
