American Kitchens

We would like to introduct to you, our American Kitchens, the revolutionary design from 1953 by Raymond Loewy, which over time has become a sought-after collector’s item and to which an exhibition was devoted as a design and art object in the Stedelijk Museum.

A striking feature of this American kitchen is its streamlined shape with rounded, handle-less drawers. The radical and progressive use of materials such as metal and vinyl, as well as the modular construction and the multifunctional character, are also very striking.

Raymond Loewy, the legend behind the American Kitchen

Raymond Loewy (1893-1986) was a French-born American industrial designer, hailed by the press as “The Man Who Shaped America”, “The Father of Streamlining” and “The Father of Industrial Design”. He achieved fame for his extensive oeuvre of work with numerous designs in a wide variety of industries.

In addition to American kitchen, there are more iconic designs of his hand, such as the Shell, Exxon, TWA and the former BP logos, the Greyhound Scenicruiser bus, Coca-Cola bottles and vending machines, the Lucky Strike package, the Studebaker Avanti, Locomotives for Pennsylvania Railways, the interior of Boeing Air Force One for President John F. Kennedy, as well as the interior of NASA’s Skylab One space station, just to name a few classics from the scope of his legendary works.
