Publisher's Synopsis
For Frank Lloyd Wright, every item inside a house or an office building was as important as the outside. As this book demonstrates, all Wright's furnishings were meant to be integral parts of the whole composition - works of art in themselves. The furnishings shown here range from Wright's world-famous tall-back chairs to ingenious combination pieces, from his revered art glass windows to lamps that have become classics, and from vases to china to spectacular textiles patterns.;Throughout his long career, spanning the years 1887 to 1959, this internationally renowned architect worked to persuade homeowners to simplify and beautify their lives by simplifying their furnishings. Choose just a few good things, Wright suggested, and go to the woods and fields for colours and materials that bring nature home. A showcase for these and many more of Wright's most important ideas for interiors, the book illustrates how the architect clothed his buildings as well inside as outside.
