Frank Lloyd Wright: The Rooms: Interiors and Decorative Arts

This beautiful interior design coffee table book offers a fresh focus on the human-scaled rooms and decor of this master architect’s evocative designs, with over 300 stunning images.Frank Lloyd Wright: The Rooms presents the warm interior spaces and exceptional design work of this beloved American master. Wright was an early proponent of "total design"—unsatisfied with what was available in designing a given space or home, he invented what was needed. Wright developed a language of architectural detail and styling that is unique and which extended to everything from tables and easy chairs to stonework and stained glass "light screens." This approach was manifested distinctly in each of his residential projects. This architecture and interior design book offers the reader an immersion into Wright's work by means of extraordinary artful detail in intimately explored rooms and spaces. From the Oak Park Home and Studio in Illinois to the majestically appointed Darwin D. Martin House with its abundance of art glass, including Wright’s famous "Tree of Life" and "Wisteria" designs, this luxurious volume ranges over the whole of Wright’s oeuvre. It highlights a number of Wright masterpieces, including Hollyhock House, the mysterious Aztec-like home and arts complex built on a hill in Los Angeles; the Dana House, with its luminous "butterfly" transom glass; and the fabled living room at Fallingwater.
