This is a story about a desk — not any desk, mind you, but a startling, Frank Gehry-designed security desk in the lobby of the Inland Steel Building, one of Chicago's great mid-20th century high-rises.
The U-shaped desk is best described as a piece of furniture that's been elevated to the level of art, or is simply an emblem of excess.

Frank came up with this when he dropped an ice cube tray. Intentionally, of course.
I love thick glass. Love it love it looooove it. Could stare at/into it for hours.
That said, this desk is pretty mean. And furniture can't ever be "elevated to the level of art". Furniture *can* be artful, but I'd argue that this desk of glass is not artful, either.
I think it looks like part of the set for the Broadway adaptation of Ice Age - Lost in Douche Bag Land
^ lol. Is that guy playing the wooly mammoth.
