Many designers find New York City to be a destination to reignite their creative energy. The hustle and bustle of the city, the myriad of museums and the endless architectural gems offer design professionals fuel for their passion and creativity. For Interior Architect Chip Taylor, New York City’s Chrysler Building is one such source of inspiration.

Chip admires the way American architect William Van Alen incorporated many aspects of the corporation’s cars from the Art Deco era into the design of the Chrysler Building.

“I find it fascinating when a designer draws from designs in other disciplines and industries as a source of innovation,” says Chip.
