Another quick note on the Italian hospital posing as Roger Sterling’s office! His young bride might not know how to handle her liquor, but she’s clearly got an eye for architectural trends. His desk chair is an Eames, and the others are Eero Saarinen tulip chairs. Saarinen, a Finnish architect, is best-known for his simple, sweeping, arching structural curves—St. Louis arch, anyone?

He died in 1961, and a year later his masterpiece was open to the public—the TWA terminal at JFK airport, a structure Yale Architecture dean Robert A.M. Stern called ‘the Grand Central of the Jet Age’. 

One can hardly think of a designer whose ethos is more suited to support (literally!) our SCDP comrades as they march into the future.
