Raymond Loewy More Furniture and Collectibles
For those in the know, French-born American industrial designer Raymond Loewy is the “father of streamlining.” He is widely recognized as a pioneer of industrial design consulting — a creative powerhouse who took aim at cluttered designs and simplified them. Loewy left his mark on everything from toothbrushes to trashcans to spacecraft interiors. He designed cars, worked in illustration, and crafted comely dressers and other furniture.
Loewy was born in Paris, France. At age 15, he designed a model airplane that was powered by rubber bands. It won the James Gordon Bennett Cup of 1908. Loewy patented the model kit for this plane by the following year and saw brisk sales. With his savings, Loewy was able to study at the University of Paris and then at Ecole de Lanneau, where he earned an engineering degree in 1918.
Loewy moved to New York City in 1919 and found work as a window designer for the department stores Macy's, Wanamaker's and Saks and as a fashion illustrator for Vogue and Harper's Bazaar. Loewy’s big break in industrial design came in 1929 when he altered the Gestetner duplicating machine — removing jutting parts and encasing the moving works in an understated cover. It caused a sensation within the industry — and companies began to call on him.
Loewy designed packaging for Coca-Cola and revised the look of Lucky cigarettes. The “Loewy Look,” which referred to the designer’s efforts to strip a product of any unnecessary detail and streamline its appearance, began to characterize hundreds of products.
Loewy found clients in a dizzying number of companies. He did everything from retooling logos to redesigning products. His 1934 Sears Coldspot refrigerator was a sleek innovation that broke sales records. His Pennsylvania Railroad locomotive resembled a speeding bullet and was the darling of the 1939 World’s Fair. Loewy even reworked shapes for snacks at Nabisco. By the time World War II gathered steam, Raymond Loewy Associates — the industrial design firm he founded — had been operating in a number of American cities. When Time magazine featured him on the cover in October 1949 — Loewy was not shy about publicity — his profile soared.
Loewy worked with Studebaker for decades. The success of their 1953 Starliner coupe was due to his revolutionary design, while their 1963 futuristic, fiberglass-bodied Avanti, which came with advanced safety features and materialized at a time when the company was experiencing financial hardship, was his crowning achievement for the maker.
Returning to his roots in aviation, Loewy worked for NASA from 1967 to 1973 on the interior design of the Skylab space station. He was also involved in the interior designs of the Concorde supersonic jet and Air Force One. Loewy delighted in creating furniture and collaborated with manufacturers such as Mengel Furniture, Rosenthal and Doubinsky Frères. In the 1970s, Loewy and his wife shuttered their businesses and retired in France.

Vintage 1970s Raymond Loewy Style Space Age Green Chapter One Highboy Dresser
By Raymond Loewy, Broyhill
Located in Chattanooga, TN
This bold highboy dresser from the 1970s pushes the boundaries of mid-century design. Crafted under the “Chapter One” collection by Broyhill, the piece channels the visionary aesthetic of Raymond Loewy—futuristic curves, molded plastics, and a color-pop that feels more rocket-age than bedroom.
The body is crisp white lacquered wood, serving as the perfect backdrop to the brilliant molded polymer drawer fronts—this version rendered in vibrant space-age green. The top is a high-gloss laminate that captures ambient light like a showroom surface, while the curved edges and flush handle details keep the profile tight and streamlined. With generous drawer volume and weighty construction, this casepiece balances sculptural form with everyday functionality.
Little of the Chapter One collection remains today, making this an outstanding opportunity. Its proportions—approximately 39.5″ W × 18″ D × 43.75″ H—make it ideal for both residential and high-end interior installations.
Condition is VERY GOOD: the body has been professionally refinished to preserve the original aesthetic, the polymer fronts retain their rich color and depth, and all hardware and glides perform smoothly.
Whether featured as part of a curated mid-century suite or standing alone as a statement piece, this Chapter One dresser brings a rare blend of optimism, design heritage, and vibrant character to any setting.
The body has been expertly refinished: the frame and plinth base stripped, sanded, primed, and painted a crisp white, while the molded plastic drawer fronts are original and rendered in vibrant green Cycolac polymer. The laminate top has been restored and polished to a glassy high-gloss shine, reinforcing that space-age aesthetic. Rounded corners soften the geometry and give the dresser a sleek, playful presence.
Functionally, the drawers are generously deep, capacious enough to hold linens, folded garments, or other items with ease; build quality is solid. The plinth base provides stable support and sits cleanly close to the floor, anchoring the bold vertical form without feeling bulky.
Decoratively, this dresser is more than furniture — it’s an object of personality and nostalgia. In interiors that favor bold color, graphic contrast, and mid-century innovation, it becomes a focal point. It pairs beautifully with warm woods, metallic accents, mirror surfaces, or minimalist décor to allow its form and color to shine.
Broyhill’s Chapter one collection borrowed from the plastic mold injection designs made famous by legendary designer Raymond Loewy. Like Loewy, these Chapter One Dressers employ the futuristic use of color and materials in a way that had not been seen before. The bright yellow plastic captures the playful spirit of the 1970s. The dresser is supported by a lacquered plinth base with rounded corners. This colorful, curvaceous case-good could have blended in nicely on the set of 2001 A Space Odyssey. The space-age look has never been more desirable, which may help explain the recent scarcity of all things Chapter One.
We also have matching pieces including two low dressers, yellow nightstand...
