Built in 1946-47 as a bachelor retreat and expanded later when Loewy got married, the house has been restored by metalware manufacturer Jim Gaudineer who said of the design, "When you slide open the glass walls, it's almost like living outdoors." A typical Palm Springs modernist villa with a low-slung pavilion and plenty of glass that provides striking views of desert, mountains, and the pool and garden that make the private oasis complete.

The Raymond Loewy DF2000 cabinet series was manufactured by "Doubinsky Frères" in France around 1965. How did an American industrial designer like Raymond Loewy end up with a French manufacturer? Nobody seems to know.<br /><br />If you love space age modern furniture, you will be hard-pressed to resist them. Unfortunately they have some design issues; they are super heavy and each of the feet was 4-parted in a star shape pattern needing an additional metal plate to hold them together. We have been waiting for someone to release them again with the slight improvements that are needed. So Vitra, Knoll, Herman Miller, etc...if you are reading this...
