UpstairsDownstairs Resin Lamp 21 x 9 x 8in by Clay Brown in New York

This resin sculpture table lamp is an ode to the most iconic New York skyscraper – The Chrysler Building. The concept for the base came from my own daily fascination at the inner workings of such an immense city. Every time I get a glimpse into the construction under a street, I marvel at the and innumerable water mains, connections for electricity, gas, plumbing, etc. I’m reminded that every time any beautiful building/company/restaurant/park/small business/welfare program is created, it’s the work of thousands of people, often not getting the credit they deserve, in service of a grand ideal for the betterment of our city. It reminds me that, while the towering structures and record-breaking titans are impressive, my favorite thing about this or any city is the humans, individual and collective, that make it.
