An invitation into the evocative, human-scaled, and artful interiors
designed by Wright. 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, developing a language of architectural detail and
styling that is unique and which extended to the tables, bookcases, easy
chairs, sofas, and cabinets; to rugs and murals; to stonework; to
stained glass "light screens," which served as windows, doors, and room
partitions; and lighting. This approach was manifested distinctly in
each of his residential projects. This book offers the reader an
immersion into this 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.
