Location: Newark Airport

The President’s Lounge at Newark Airport is peppered with a variety of chairs. The space is oblong with full windows facing the vigorously wheeling of service vehicles between gates 120-127 and 102-144 even. On one end is a bar, occupied by the expected barstools; a few of their cousins have set up a satellite community on the opposite side of the space, inexplicably parked in a small, awkward cluster amongst some of the dominant semi-lounge chairs. These are comfortable enough. Shrunken arm chairs, they are not designed for splaying but can be comfortable enough if one manages to finagle the proper neck angle. Some straight backed chairs live over by the phones along the wall, computer wheelies in the computer bays, and legitimate plush lounge chairs in the screening room.
