PepsiCo, Sketch of Reception Area RP/1/14/22/12 (2 of 7)

An ink and coloured pencil design on paper dated 1 March 1982. The drawing shows an elevation of the back wall of the reception area in office building number 4. It includes mirrored panelling and a facetted column, built around an existing pier, with a planter at the base.

This large-scale project at the world headquarters of PepsiCo Inc. was Page’s last major undertaking. From 1980 until his death in 1985, he made frequent visits to the site in Westchester County, 25 miles north of New York City, working largely on designs to harmonise the company’s substantial collection of outdoor sculptures with the landscaped parkland.
