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 once an early proponent of “total design.” Unsatisfied with what was once to be had in designing a given space or home, he invented what was once needed, developing a language of architectural detail and styling that may be unique and which extended to the tables, bookcases, easy chairs, sofas, and cabinets; to rugs and work of art; to stonework; to stained glass “light screens,” which served as windows, doors, and room partitions; and lighting. This approach was once manifested distinctly in every of his residential projects. This book offers the reader an immersion into this work by way of peculiar 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 luxury volume ranges over the entire of Wright’s oeuvre. It highlights a variety 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.
