"As much a philosopher as an architect, his [Frank Lloyd Wright's] vision, ideals, talent and productivity equally enchant and impress us. Wright did not simply design buildings of wood and stone or steel and glass. More than that he saw his profession as a forum to test and espouse his own ideas about man, America, and design. Nature was both his inspiration and his mentor. The lesson learned was harmony which, when applied, gave rise to architectural unity... marrying structure to site, inside to out, and the total design to the rituals and needs of the inhabitants. Walls were not seen as an obstruction to the outdoors, but as a bond between interior and exterior. In developing this collection, we have taken inspiration from varied examples of Frank Lloyd Wright's work in different mediums.
