THE GREATS | BUILT TO INSPIRE.
Some people follow. The Greats build.
At THOMAS®, we honor the visionaries, the pioneers, the relentless minds who don’t just shape industries—they define them.
From architects who built skylines to innovators who changed the world, greatness isn’t just about what they did—it’s about how they thought, how they executed, and how they left a mark that will never fade.
The Chrysler Building. The Empire State. The minds behind Ferrari, Ford, Rockefeller, and Jobs.
They didn’t wait for permission. They didn’t follow the blueprint.
They built what others thought was impossible.
They don’t just build. They change everything.
This is The Greats. A tribute to those who refuse to accept limits. To those who set the standard and then raise it—again and again.
THOMAS® | Create the Extraordinary.
Steve Jobs
Steve Jobs: A Visionary Who Changed the World
Steve Jobs wasn’t just a tech entrepreneur—he was a revolutionary thinker who reshaped the way the world interacts with technology. As the co-founder of Apple, Jobs turned a small garage startup into one of the most influential companies in history. His obsession with design, simplicity, and innovation led to the creation of the Macintosh, iPod, iPhone, and iPad, products that transformed entire industries. Known for his relentless pursuit of perfection, Jobs pushed boundaries, often demanding the impossible from his team—because he believed that only those who dare to think differently can change the world. His famous “Think Different” campaign celebrated rebels, visionaries, and misfits, a philosophy that defined both Apple and his legacy. Even after his passing in 2011, Jobs’ influence continues to shape technology, business, and creativity, proving that true innovation comes from those bold enough to challenge the status quo.

The Chrysler Building
“A Race to the Sky”
In the late 1920s, the skyline of New York City became the battleground for the tallest building in the world. At the center of this race was Walter P. Chrysler, who sought to make a bold statement of American industry and ambition. Designed by architect William Van Alen, the Chrysler Building was a masterpiece of Art Deco design, featuring intricate detailing and its now-iconic stainless-steel crown. In a dramatic last-minute move, Chrysler secretly installed the building’s spire in just 90 minutes, securing the title of the world’s tallest building—only to be surpassed months later by the Empire State Building. Today, it remains one of New York’s most beloved architectural icons, a symbol of the Roaring Twenties’ ambition, elegance, and innovation.
Kobe Bryant
“Leave the game better than you found it.”
“The most important thing is to try and inspire people so that they can be great in whatever they want to do.”
Kobe Bryant was more than just a basketball player—he was an icon of discipline, excellence, and relentless ambition. Drafted into the NBA at just 17, he spent 20 legendary seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers, winning five NBA championships, two Finals MVPs, and earning 18 All-Star selections. Known for his Mamba Mentality, Kobe’s work ethic was unmatched—arriving at the gym before sunrise and staying long after everyone left. His obsession with greatness set a new standard for athletes and leaders alike. Whether dropping 81 points in a single game, securing Olympic gold, or transitioning into a successful post-basketball career—winning an Academy Award for storytelling—Kobe proved that true greatness is about dedication, reinvention, and leaving an undeniable impact on the world. His legacy is not just in basketball—it’s in the mindset of those who strive to be the best version of themselves.
