Biography

Raymond Loewy is recognized among Jewish contributors to Economics & Business — Pioneer of industrial design (Coca-Cola bottle, Shell/Exxon logos, Studebaker, Air Force One livery); son of Jewish-Austrian father Max Loewy

How & why

Raymond Loewy was a French-American industrial designer often called the 'father of industrial design,' who shaped the Coca-Cola fountain dispenser, the Lucky Strike pack, the Shell and Exxon logos, Studebaker cars, and interiors for NASA's Skylab and Air Force One. His father, Maximilian Loewy, was an Austrian Jew, giving Loewy documented Jewish ancestry (paternal). His streamlined aesthetic defined mid-twentieth-century American design.
