Frank Lloyd Wright Pedestals

American, 1867-1959

Without question the greatest architect the United States has ever produced, Frank Lloyd Wright and his philosophy of “organic architecture” — of buildings that exist in harmony with their natural surroundings — had a profound influence on the shape of modern life.

Wright gave us some of the most elegant and iconic buildings in America: residences such as Fallingwater, in rural Pennsylvania, the Robie House in Chicago, and Taliesin, Wright’s own home; and masterful institutional structures that include the Unity Temple in Oak Park, Illinois, the Johnson Wax headquarters in Racine, Wisconsin, and the Guggenheim Museum in New York. Whenever possible, Wright designed the furniture for his projects, to ensure an affinity between a building’s exterior and interior.

Wright’s wooden chairs and tables for his “Prairie Houses” of the early 1900s have sleek, attenuated forms, influenced by both the simplicity of traditional Japanese design and the work of Gustav Stickley and other designers of the Arts and Crafts movement.

For Taliesin and several residential projects, Wright designed severely geometric chairs that are marvels of reductivist design. He revisited many of these forms in the 1950s in furniture licensed to the North Carolina firm Henredon, adding a decorative frieze-like element to the edges of tables and stools. Owing to a cross-licensing agreement between Henredon and Heritage at the time, Wright's lines of the era are usually labeled Heritage-Henredon.

The works on 1stDibs also show how happily Wright embraced new forms and materials. His desks and chairs for Johnson Wax have a streamlined look and use tubular steel to the same effect as designer Warren McArthur, who collaborated with Wright in the interiors of the Arizona Biltmore Hotel. For the Price Tower (1956) in Oklahoma, Wright designed angular wooden desks as well as upholstered pedestal chairs made of chromed steel — audacious furniture for his tallest completed building project.

The beauty of Frank Lloyd Wright’s furniture designs is that while many of us wish we could live in one of his houses, his vintage sofas, storage cabinets and armchairs connect us directly to his architecture, and to the history he made.

What is the difference between Le Corbusier and Frank Lloyd Wright?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024
The main difference between Frank Lloyd Wright and Le Corbusier is the architects’ philosophy. Frank Lloyd Wright helped pioneer organic architecture—buildings that coexist harmoniously with their natural surroundings. As a result, he often preferred to use natural and even local materials in his buildings and furniture. Le Corbusier was more progress-minded and sought to impose rational order on the world's chaos through design. He focused on designs for living in modern urban settings. In his furniture, he tended to blend natural and human-made materials, such as tubular chrome and genuine leather. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of Frank Lloyd Wright and Le Corbusier furniture.

Why is the Robie House by Frank Lloyd Wright called Prairie-style architecture?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertNovember 26, 2024
The Robie House by Frank Lloyd Wright is called Prairie-style architecture because of its characteristics. Wright pioneered Prairie-style architecture by designing homes in the Midwest using inspiration from the prairie landscapes found in the region. The earthy colors and organic textures of the Robie House’s brick, stucco and wood materials bring to mind the color of the prairies, and its low-pitched roof, strong horizontal lines and elongated rectangular windows reflect the flatness of the terrain. Inside, the home features wide-open spaces that provide extended sight lines similar to how you can see far into the distance when gazing out across a flat prairie.
