Empire State Building – New York
Classic of the classics, the Empire State Building is not just another building in the skies of New York; it is also one of the most important tourist spots to visit in the country. Inaugurated in 1931, it was considered for some decades the tallest building in the world and today it is an unmissable stopping point for those who want to admire NY from a new angle. The skyscraper is featured in the films shot in the city and, on special dates, it receives commemorative lighting. Its top can be seen from different points of the city – after all, there are 102 floors.
For instance, in some cases the beauty and brilliance of some pieces of architecture can be an inspiration on the creation of another stunning and gorgeous type of works, like this one that is shown.
The Empire Chandelier by LUXXU is a masterpiece with an extravagant shape, capable of transforming every space into a stunning scenario. Due to its vigorous personality it creates an exclusive atmosphere
Chrysler Building
The Chrysler Building was the first supertall building taking the title of World’s Tallest Building after winning a height battle with The Bank of Manhattan. The building claimed the title when it raised an 125-foot spire in just 90 minutes after constructing it in secret. It lost the title of World’s Tallest Building 11 months later to the Empire State Building but enjoyed commercial success due to its location next to Grand Central Terminal. Is one more of the amazing pieces of architecture that are made in the “Big Apple”.

A masterpiece of Fazlur Rahman, Willis Tower is a 1450-foot skyscraper looking over Chicago, Illinois. Completed in 1973, this iconic structure was once the tallest building in the world and is currently the third tallest building in the United States.
