Chanin Rise Mini Lined Hardcover Journal, 176pg, 85gsm by Paperblanks (New York Deco)

Described as the "mise en scène for the romantic drama of American business," New York City's Chanin Building was built by Irwin S. Chanin in the late 1920s. Ornately adorned with bronze grilles representing some of the finest Art Deco in the city, the lobby was styled around a "City of Opportunity" concept. One of these ventilator grilles, with loops, spirals and geometric lines symbolizing human thought and emotion, is reproduced here.
