One of the nicest things about living in Manhattan is that you can suddenly realize how a place, one that you may walk by everyday of your busy life without notice, is completely and utterly magnificent. We're training ourselves to
really look at what is around us--the Bell Telephone Building on 18th Street in Chelsea is a fine example. Walking home from dinner the other night, we were amazed at the palette and detail of the facade. Rythamic, tonal, geometric with an organic inspiration, the building is deco at its best. Using Bell as the jumping off point, here's a few other deco treasures we uncovered:
