A favorite pastime is raiding Google's archive of previously-unseen Life Magazine photos. There's three pages of film on Raymond Loewy, who was apparently quite the partier (check out his crib, above and below).
This, friends, is the Father of Industrial Design's bathroom, circa 1949.
Below, Loewy laying in the cut: Behind the wheel of his Lincoln Continental concept car with a plexi roof.
The Loewy Crib in Palm Springs featured an indoor/outdoor pool studded with natural rock formations.

He's also caught nipping next door to the Kaufmann house pool parties and getting center picture in these shots:
Why did a bunch of Lucha Libres comment on this 10 years ago?
The piece in the 9th photo hanging on the wall is the very first doggie treat dinosaur cookie cutter, he probally did that after hitting his head on one of those rocks. Little did he know what an inspiration it was when Andy Warhol found it, gave it to Jeff Koonz and together they conspired to create pop art.

Which would make sense.
And another piece I don't recognize, but is pretty darn avante garde for 1949, hanging above the fireplace in the ninth photo.
