An Architectural Icon Reimagined
Tribune Tower, Chicago
In 1922, the Chicago Tribune launched a groundbreaking global design competition, drawing 260 entries from 23 countries. The winning Gothic Revival vision by John Mead Howells and Raymond Hood gave birth to the Tribune Tower—completed in 1925 and destined to reshape Chicago's skyline.

From Editorial Landmark to Elevated Living
In 2016, CIM Group and Golub & Company began the tower's transformation from historic media headquarters to luxury residences. Reopened in 2021, its storied grandeur remains palpable. Step into the lobby and you'll find not only soaring stonework and dramatic heights, but also two Baker-McGuire lounge chairs—subtle in tone, architectural in presence, and perfectly attuned to the space's timeless elegance.

Furniture as Architectural Counterpoints
Carnelian Lounge Chair
With its curved back and hollowed form, the Carnelian Lounge Chair speaks in architectural minimalism with sculptural clarity. Soft geometry and subtle textures lend it a calm but compelling presence—never overpowering, yet unmistakably refined.
Celestite Lounge Chair
Clean, composed lines meet a soft temperament in the Celestite Lounge Chair. Its high back and plush cushioning evoke balance, while architectural frames and geometric weaves echo the language of the Tribune Tower itself—fusing past and present.

In Tribune Tower, Baker’s pieces are not simply placed—they converse with history. The Carnelian and Celestite chairs align with both the soul of the building and the pulse of contemporary living.
