Raymond Loewy designed sets.

[Sandy G]

Raymond Loewy was an industrial designer. He had a somewhat difficult job-take an existing product & re-design it, so hopefully it would be easier to operate, & if all possible, be more aesthetically pleasing. One of their first redesigns was for Louis Gestetner, Loewy redesigned a duplicating machine, a forerunner of today's copying machine. loewy & his team redesigned the thing to the point where it was not only pleasing to look at, it worked better, & was safer, too. Loewy also designed the paint scheme for Air Force One in '61, & it was so good, the basic design is still used today on the current 747-altho it looks much better on the older 707.
