Artist's Statement:
The Chrysler Building, architect William Van Alen’s 1930 art deco masterpiece was, for eleven months, the world’s tallest building, before being surpassed by the Empire State. Commissioned by Walter Chrysler as a real estate investment for his children, this iconic midtown NYC structure was awarded national landmark status in 1976.
In 1981, while working on a magazine story about the “Gargoyles of Gotham,” I walked over to the Chrysler Building from my NYC apartment to photograph its gargoyles on the 60th floor. I’d been invited to appear after hours by a building superintendent, whom I paid with a 6 pack of beer, maybe two. He brought me to the 58th floor, where I climbed out onto a two story scaffolding lashed to the building on a setback. At the top of the stairs, tucked up under the eagle, itself designed to look like a Chrysler auto hood ornament, I captured this unique view.

Eames Soft-Pad Executive Chairs in Smoke Gray Leather by Herman Miller
By Charles and Ray Eames
Located in Stamford, CT
The great portfolio of Charles & Ray Eames is widely celebrated and serves as a model of inspiration for designers to this day. One of their most recognizable designs is the Aluminum Group line for Herman Miller from which these Soft Pad Executive Chairs were born. It is said that the Soft Pad variation was a design accident - cushions from the Eames Chaise found themselves draped over an Aluminum Group chair, and the rest is history. Whatever the story may be, the comfort of Charles & Ray’s Soft Pad seating perhaps rivals that of their famed Eames Lounge Chair.
The Soft Pad collection consists of a Lounge Chair, a Low Back Management Chair, and this High Back Executive Chair. The design language is similar to the Eames Aluminum Group suite which sports a single “sling” of material which is tethered to two cast aluminum side rails and in this case, four plush cushions for optimal comfort. These chairs are equipped with a tilt mechanism with tension control as well as manual height adjustment.
We have a large quantity of these Eames Soft Pad Executive Chairs...
