Frank Lloyd Wright (1867–1959) was one of America’s most influential architects and designers. He developed the principles of organic architecture, seeking to create buildings that were closely integrated with their surroundings and the natural landscape. His early Prairie Style houses, with their horizontal lines, open plans and carefully designed interiors, revolutionized American residential architecture. Among his best-known works are Fallingwater, Robie House, Taliesin, and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York. His ideas had a lasting influence on modern architecture and design worldwide.
Wright began designing furniture in the 1890s, initially for his own Oak Park home and later for many of his architectural commissions. His early furniture is characterized by strong geometric forms, straight lines and natural materials, particularly oak, reflecting the influence of the Arts and Crafts movement. Pieces such as his 1895 dining table and high-backed chairs were closely integrated with their interiors and helped establish a distinctly modern American design language.
