Frank Lloyd Wright is considered the most influential American architect of all time. His seminal ideas and over 1,100 architectural works, some of which helped defining the modern home, revolutionized the domestic interior. Furniture, to him, was an integral part of his architecture, and his pieces have been collected by museums and passionate collectors worldwide for decades. By creating open plans, and integrating architecture into its landscape, Wright was constantly rethinking the American home, its integrated design, and its furnishings. With an emphasis on a single large living space, conceived as the heart of the home that served multiple functions of living, dining, entertaining, and conversation, Wright envisioned a reformed and influential way of living. His domestic architecture came to support this type of lifestyle, and demonstrated the power of the physical environment to enhance everyday life.
