Here is a snippet that first appeared in an early Fifties news digest that featured a photograph of a carpet designed by the grand-daddy of all industrial designers, Raymond Loewy (1893 – 1986):
“Something new in room dividers are Area rugs designed by Raymond Loewy to define areas of activity within a room; dining sections, TV corners for example. Sophisticated but adaptable to almost all interiors, the new rugs come in such decorator colors as pink, lime green [and] turquoise.”
