TWA Hotel Sunken Lounge
Inside the TWA headhouse, the Sunken Lounge is the detail worth singling out: Saarinen's chili-pepper-red conversation pit, restored to the original Raymond Loewy palette, with a split-flap departure board still clacking. Sit in the pit with a drink and you're fully in 1962.
The restored sunken conversation pit inside Saarinen's terminal — chili-red and intact.
