The Interiors of Frank Lloyd Wright
’No book concerning Wright’s achievement has received such devotional treatment from photographers, authors and publishers … an imaginative and exciting book with surprises on every page’ – House and Garden
Here is a breathtaking look at the endlessly popular works of Frank Lloyd Wright. This great American architect regarded his houses as symphonies, each composed as a beautiful whole down to the smallest detail. He shaped not just the shell, but everything that went with it: furniture, skylights, art glass windows, light fixtures, textiles, carpets, murals, decorative accessories, even the surrounding landscape. He embodied his fundamental principles of organic architecture – simplicity and integrity, unity, natural materials and finishes – in splendid examples of individual and stimulating design.
The Wright Style offers an extraordinary guided tour of more than forty houses, from Frank Lloyd Wright’s own homes in Oak Park, Illinois, and at the two Taliesins in Wisconsin and Arizona, via classic residences such as Fallingwater, Wingspread and Hollyhock house, to the creations of a dozen other architects – including Rudolph Schindler, John Lautner and Fay Jones – who continued the tradition in startling new ways. All of Wright’s periods are represented, and the many colour illustrations show how present-day occupants harmonize and live with their glorious dwellings. A full catalogue of products lists items available today, from sofas and rugs to tables and dinnerware, that will help recreate the unique Wright ambience.
