What materials did Frank Lloyd Wright use?
1 Answer
Frank Lloyd Wright used a variety of materials. For his homes and commercial buildings, the American architect favored natural materials and obtained them from local sources whenever possible. Some materials commonly featured in Wright's buildings include concrete, zinc, glass bricks, stone and wood. 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. His desks and chairs for Johnson Wax have a streamlined look and feature tubular steel. Shop a variety of Frank Lloyd Wright furniture on 1stDibs.
