Frank Lloyd Wright was born in Richland Centre, Wisconsin in 1867 and died in Phoenix, Arizona in 1959. Frank Lloyd Wright is widely viewed as the foremost American architect of the 20th century. He designed more than a thousand buildings during his career.
Born in the Midwest, he spent much of his professional life there, though he also practised in California, New York and Japan. He married his first wife in 1889 and had six children. An irascible personality meant his life was peppered with personal scandal and financial worry.Furniture was integral to Wright’s design philosophy. He believed that architecture, interiors and furnishings must arise from the same conceptual principles
This chair is personally my favorite chair I could find online this is because I like the way the back of it curves in with the seat. The negative spacing on the back of the chair makes it a decorative piece around the home when no one is sitting on it as well as a comfortable seat for those who wish to use it. Detail to base has proven effective as it portrays itself as a comfy device although the hard back contradicts the idea of comfiness when in actual fact is more decorative than comfort related. I understand the concept to be of a clever idea although don’t think the biomorphic shape relates to my more rectilinear style.
