Frank Lloyd Wright was born in Wisconsin, United States in 1867. He was one of the most important American architects of the twentieth century.
Many of his furniture products were produced for his architectural projects. Both his architectural work and his furniture designed were characterized by their unity and coherence and the fact that the smallest detail was never overlooked. This is evident in his office furniture developed for the Johnson Wax Administration Building in Wisconsin. His chairs were made to fit the white collar worker with armrests to support the forearms for the typist, freely accessible storage and surfaces, and a red aluminum frame to match the walnut wood for an aesthetically pleasing effect.
Wright believed in simplicity and using basic geometric forms such as squares, triangles, and hexagons. Many of his furniture designs were created for private homes such as his Midway chair, which was created of tubular steel based in triangles and circles. The Imperial Hotel in Tokyo was a total work of art that was full of his furniture, lamps, tableware, and carpets.
