In honor of “Lobby Chic” Week here at Mirror80, today we shine the spotlight on the music video for “Penthouse and Pavement” by Heaven 17. From the 1981 album of the same name, this disco-influenced track is nothing short of amazing. And the video… from a glossy lobby to an office filled with ’80s-fabulous appliances and electronics, never has corporate espionage had such as retro-sleek setting. Check out the music video (featuring actress Emma Relph) below:

Now let’s take a look at some items that epitomize the vibe of this stellar video that shines the spotlight on ’80s office culture…
