Frank Lloyd Wright’s Best Designs Can Now Be Seen in One Room
It’s not much of a leap to say that Frank Lloyd Wright is nearly synonymous with American architecture. The name carries such cachet that “Frank Lloyd Wright–inspired” has become a moniker for any home with a flat roof, an overhang, and floor-to-ceiling windows.
While Wright will always be remembered as one of the most influential and important architects of the 20th century, it wasn’t just houses he was designing. Throughout his decades-long career, the visionary also completed many projects on a much smaller scale, dreaming up furniture, tableware, and glasswork—often to be displayed inside one of his buildings.
Now, you can see many of these iconic pieces thoughtfully curated under roof. A new temporary exhibition at Kirkland Museum of Fine & Decorative Art in Denver, Colorado, “Frank Lloyd Wright Inside the Walls” aims to look at Wright’s decorative art pieces as an integral part of his larger vision.
“We can’t wait to share these intriguing examples of Wright’s work in a cohesive exhibition,” Renée Albiston, associate museum director, said in a statement. Within the exhibit, guests can find objects from 11 of Wright’s architectural projects in addition to historical photos of the pieces in their original settings.
