The Golden Room, once the crown jewel of Eaton’s 9th floor restaurant, opened in 1931 and designed by Jacques Carlu in pure Art Deco elegance. After decades of silence and restoration, it still glows with the same quiet opulence, mirrors reflecting infinity, brass gleaming like time itself #Montreal

Described by artist Chris Drury, "Cloud Chamber for the Trees and Sky" presents an encounter with nature seemingly divorced from everyday human perception, “like a scene from an old movie or a dream.”

Hard to believe Studebaker managed this in 1953. Best-looking Loewy "Italian-style" design ever in America? I think so.
