GREAT MAN !

The 72 Munich Olympics set the standard that has not been matched since, not only in design and architecture but organization and execution. Despite the tragedy, they were as good as the modern Olympics ever got.

A true Product Designer. And so happy to find this interview. I’ve seen a great deal of his work, and I’ve seen documentaries done on him, but have not seen as much interviewing. So thank you for posting this.

Trophy deserved for Raymond Loewy's designs ! He was just one of the pioneers of design - no doubt about it ! This was a great interview so many pearls of wisdom that he passed on to us (the viewers watching this man). Thank you KZbin.

Ka guten Nadel mog i nät

I have been a huge fan of Raymond Loewy’s designs for many decades and even before I knew that Loewy was responsible for the designs I liked/loved! This YT video is the very first time I have seen him interviewed, especially by 60 Minutes, all those many years, ago ( I have never seen ANY other TV intetviews with him, ONLY still images of the man ) and this was the very first time I have ever heard this man’s voice and speak. He was a very brilliant and humble designer, with a great eye for design and the ideas of making/distilling any deaign down to a simple, easy to understand aesthetic! Getting to finnally get a glimpse into this man/designer and his nature was really wonderful to watch and listen to. This interview was at a time when our Country had great, impartial and honest news reporting and great interview skills by truly professiona, skilled and trusted news reporters, who knew what their jobs were, way back then. My, oh my, how things have changed and have changed for the worst! Wonderful Interview, though, with a man and designer who had a great influence on everything we consume in our daily lives. I am very glad he got involved with NASA and SkyLab and totally ignored/eschewed the U.S. Miltary. Most designers and innovators really do not want to create things that can bring direct, serious harm to people through designing things and vehicles of war. Early in my design career, I worked for corporations that work in both civilian and Miliary projects, but later in my design career, moved away from this and never worked for a gun or Miltary contracted company, ever again, and stayed working in the consumer, product and packaging design arenas for many years! Raymond Loewy is still one of our greatest industrial designers for all time! Again, wonderful interview.

timeless shit sheez

Where He is sittin on the edge of the stool in the kitchen... there a big counter top appliance by the sink.. looks like a silver top top. I Absolutely.. CURIOUS... as to WHAT THAT IS? A CURIOUS Mind.. WANTS to KNOW! 😽😸

Genius

Raymond Loewy!

Legend

Untere Schichten,Opinion Leaders, bis in den Busch hinein!! Pfui Deifi

Bei 5:00 Das soll die Marksburg sein ? Die ist bei Braubach in der nähe von Koblenz ! Finde da keine Bezug, in Asien haben sie die 1 zu 1 wirklich nachgebaut, das kann der Asiate aber besser 😁

A remarkable person with such a natural perspective of looking at things.

simplify to amplify 🤌

What a legend- the World is not as interesting or as beautiful since he passed. I would like to mention that Mr. Lowery was also responsible for the designs on both US World’s Fairs, many , many automobiles, furniture, decorative arts, street lights, China for Rosenthal, telephones everything you that is beautiful, functional and well designed, has his heart, mind and soul.

This is so interesting! Thanks for the upload

tienes el video a mejor calidad? es para una exposicion gracias

The MAYA principle is also good for organisational change…

The PRR S1: Existed. The T1 Class: AM I A JOKE TO YOU?

Kurt Felix zum Schluss!

I think the network didn't do enough homework and the interview, while OK, could have been better by touching on some more subjects. For example, a key design philosophy that Loewy taught had the acronym MAYA. Or "The MAYA Principle". This meant "Most Advanced Yet Acceptable". The idea is to present an advanced design, but no more advanced than people were able to accept and embrace. In the intro, they might have mentioned he was on the cover of Time Magazine (October 31, 1949) with the text below his photo saying, "Designer Raymond Loewy" with the tag line "He streamlines the sales curve." The commercial aspect is a huge part of industrial design that the segment did touch upon, but not a lot.

When the Studebaker Avanti was designed, the rear window was the largest in automotive history. (Auto designers call the rear window a "back light".) This lasted only until the Plymouth Barracuda came out. They initially had a problem of the rear window popping out at high speeds and redesigned the fasteners to resolve that.

Loewy owned two 1963 Studebaker Avantis (one in Palm Springs and one in France) and one 1972 Avanti II. The Avanti II was made by an independent company after Studebaker ended production. The car in the video was his Avanti II (as you can see on the nameplate on the front). He tended to put some personal touch on his vehicles and in this case it is the diagonal white stripes on the doors. The Avanti II is a little different than the original Studebaker with that added bar below the front bumper, different rear view mirror designs, but mainly having Chevrolet engines and transmissions instead of Studebaker. Due to the engines being taller, the front of the Avanti II is a little higher than the Studebaker to make room for the Chevrolet engines. The most obvious place to see this body difference is the distance between the top of the front wheel opening and the top of the fender blade. So the car doesn't have quite as much "rake" as the Studebaker version. On another of his Avantis, he put a big wide metal "V" adornment on the front that I think came from a Cadillac. On his bullet nose Studebaker, he put a little propeller on the end of the bullet nose.

He also had a third home as an apartment in New York City (where he spent a lot of time) in addition to the chalet outside of Paris, France and the house in Palm Springs.

Asking him to design a better hand grenade! How obtuse can you get?

14:18 So war das früher, Einwegbesteck und Einwegdose mit Nippel zum Abreissen, der danach - wie damals noch üblich - hoffentlich nicht achtlos weggeworfen wurde. Und es gab wohl nur Wurst, aber keinen Käse ?! Und wie schnitt man das Brötchen auf, etwa mit dem lapprigen Plastikmesser ?

nice

Uber gut design !

He also designed the GG1 striping and also the N&W Roanoke Station.

🤮🤮🤮🤮

Rauchen und Design. Herrlich.

what is 7'42 product?

Came here from a Ted talk

Die verwendete Sprache erinnert mich an Deutsch aber es klingt so unnatürlich gezwungen wahllos zusammengeklebt. Als ob es wichtig ist sich politisch auszudrücken ohne Politik zu meinen. Danke für das Video. Es ist schön ein Blick in die Vergangenheit zu werfen.

The '47 Studebaker was Virgil Exner's design, NOT Loewy's.

I love you

Inspirational! Love Loewy.

01:19 Lowey actually designed the streamlining of the "unofficial" Fastest Steam Locomotive in the World - Pennsylvania Railroad Class S1, a classic forever : kzbin.info/www/bejne/farYh4SOnrypZqs

where can i find the original interview, first published by CBS, cant find it anywhere and really need it for referencing

Loved this men with typical demeanor/style of 50-60's gentlemen

Horrible interview.

Thank you so much for uploading this! If you have more material like this I would love to watch it!

Surprisingly familiar, and very cool.

70er🚬🚬🚬

Great video. Loewy is the GOAT

1953 - 1968

Es war eindeutig ein Glücksfall für München, Otl Aicher für die Erschaffung eines modernen Erscheinungsbildes für diese Olympiade gewinnen zu können. Auch nach mehr als vier Jahrzehnten wirkt die Architektur des Olympiageländes zusammen mit dem durchdachten Beschilderungen. Zeitlos.

Kann mir jemand schreiben wie die kurzen Musikstücken zwischendurch heißen?
