No house should ever be on a hill or on anything. It should be of the |
hill. Belonging to it. Hill and house should live together each the |
happier for it." - Frank Lloyd Wright |

Every genius has an inspiration; every artist a muse. Frank Lloyd Wright’s passion for the natural world and the ideas of democracy are deeply embedded in his designs. |
|
|
|
Known for great buildings like the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, and the Johnson Wax , Wright’s renown sits squarely on his 600 residential designs represented by landmark homes including Fallingwater and his own Taliesin and Taliesin West. |

Wright’s furnishings bring essential characteristics of nature to the home’s interior. As important, they were designed to integrate with the overall house. Wright said, “I tried to make my clients see that furniture and furnishings that were not built in as integral features of the building should be designed as attributes of whatever furniture was built in.” |

Brilliant in conception, striking in implementation, human in practicality,
Wright’s most prominent residential design elements have proven
timeless. Some of them date back 100 years, yet they continue to define and enhance the places we call home. |
