The design of the Chrysler Chair draws inspiration from the Chrysler Building, the world’s first skyscraper. It combines modern techniques with a classic retro style. Before the completion of the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building dominated the New York skyline. Moreover, the Chrysler Building is a masterpiece of Art Deco architecture from the early 20th century. Its spire, resembling rays of sunlight, has become almost synonymous with the Art Deco style.
