Happy Birthday Mr. Loewy


As I logged onto the internet today I saw the latest Google doodle. A tribute to Raymond Loewy on what would have been his 120th birthday. Being a draftsman, mechanical designer, and fan of industrial design, this has to be my favorite Google doodle of all time. Very nicely done.

Mr. Loewy did some designs for the Mengel Furniture Company in the 50's. The collection is quite nice and I have a bit of a soft spot for it as my surname is Mengel. That is why I have the Mengel Permanized logo down there to the right. Not much time for posting but if you have not heard about R.L. take a look at the staggering amount of products that his firm were responsible for creating the look of.
