In 1971, representatives from Cassina/Milan visited Taliesin West. The purpose of their visit was to ask for a license to manufacture the furniture designed by Wright. The effort came to naught.

The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation felt the time as right and contacted Atelier International, Cassina's exclusive distributor. They manufactured over thirty prototypes. On December 16, 1985 they were presented. On June 4, 1986 the collection was launched. In October 1986 ai presented the first seven pieces. They included: 601 Robie High Back Chair; 602 Midway Wood Chair; 603 Midway Steel Chair; 604 Midway Steel Table; 605 Allen Dining Room Table; 606 Wingspread Barrel Chair; 607 Taliesin Armchair.

No direct influence was exerted upon the young architect in this area, although the Arts & Crafts movement was of interest to Wright; his created designs reveal a response to his love of nature and the need to integrate his work as closely as possible with the natural world. This is a book about ideas and innovation as much as it is about interiors and furniture. Auction houses, museums, galleries, and the author's own extensive collection of nearly 50,000 photographs taken in the course of this restoration work, have been consulted and used to bring together a vast collection of richly informative illustrations. These present a fascinating cross-section of both freestanding and built-in furniture. Heinz's opening introduction precedes a chronological tour through Wright's houses. Six chapters examine periods 1889-1900, 1900-1910, 1910-1936, 1936-1959, the Heritage-Henredon collection of designs, and colour, materials and details..."

Author: Robertson, Cheryl; Marvel, Terrence; Niedecken, George M. Description: Published in conjunction with an exhibition held November 19, 1981 though January 17, 1982 at the Milwaukee Art Museum. Foreword: "Though George Niedecken studied and traveled in fin-de-siecle Europe, his roots remain strong in Milwaukee and Wisconsin. He returned to Milwaukee to work as an artist, furniture designer and interior architect planner. The Jacobson gift and loan posed the challenge to present Niedecken's work in the context of his time. Reconstructing Niedecken's career, consulting with the present owners of buildings he had decorated, and seeking out three-dimension objects made from his working drawings prove to be a major exercise in original research... We are pleased to acknowledge important support for the exhibition, it's catalog and supplementary interpretive materials. We received a Visiting Specialist Grant from the National Endowment for the Arts in 1979.... We want to express our sincere gratitude to all of those who permitted our staff to visit, examine and photograph their homes and furnishings.

Ambitious architectural achievement, however, has long distinguished Milwaukee, which boasts grand civic buildings and impressive housing stock throughout its many neighborhoods. This book celebrates the Milwaukee Art Museum's long dedication to one of the city's most important architectural who created interiors for some of the grandest houses built in the upper Midwest in the early twentieth century. He worked with well-known architects such as George Elmslie, Frank Purcell, Frank Lloyd Wright and others whose work is now beloved for its ambition and modern innovation. Niedecken's greatest talent lay in his ability to combine the signature horizontality of these Prairie School architects with a wide range of other design influences from the American Arts and Crafts movement and the Vienna Secession to Renaissance and Tudor Revival styles.        The Museum has held the papers of the Niedecken-Walbridge Company in its Prairie Archives since 1975. Niedecken's successor, Robert L. Jacobson, along with his wife, gave the Museum...        Original list price $32.00.

Published in "Architectural Review" June 1900, page 65. Also published in "Frank Lloyd Wright, Ausgefuhrte Bauten" 1911, page 98. The chair was from Wright's Studio. According to Richard Bock, Wright asked him to design a small panel for Mrs. Heller (1896 - S.038). "As an inducement to do the freeze he asked me to model a portrait statue of his son John, which was intended for the children's playroom in the home he was building in Oak Park. The figure was about two feet tall and was to represent a goldenrod. John Wright was then about four years old and the most contentious model I have ever encountered... It eventually turned out to be an attractive piece of sculpture of a very angelic child." "Memories of an American Artist", Bock, 1989, page 67. Wright used this photograph in his announcement of his first exhibition in 1902. Most likely photographed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Size: Original 6.7 x 10 B&W photograph.

Description: "In December of 1911 Wright left Oak Park and moved to Spring Green... There he built Taliesin I for his new life with Mamah Cheney. Before leaving Oak Park, Wright extensively remodeled the home and studio. The studio was converted to a dwelling for his wife and four children still living at home. The home was converted into a rental unit to provide income for Catherine." "The Plan for Restoration" 1978, pages 38-40. In 1911, Wright's original two-story drafting room was converted to a living room on the first floor, and four bedrooms for his children on the second. His office which was adjacent to the drafting room on the first floor was converted to a dining room, and a second level was added above it creating a bedroom for Mrs. Wright. The fireplace was added, tying it into the original drafting room chimney. The windows on the left look out over Chicago Avenue. A Wright designed slant-back chair is visible against the wall under the windows. A stubbed wall is visible on the far right. To it's right, two steps lead down to a landing and out to the hallway.

"The Plan for Restoration" 1978, pages 38-40. In 1911, Wright's original two-story drafting room was converted to a living room on the first floor, and four bedrooms for his children on the second. This was Catherine's Bedroom, the northeast bedroom, looking northeast. Three pieces of furniture are visible. A) Left: Slant back side chair. Wright designed them for his home in Oak Park, 1904. Front and back legs are straight. The back legs have feet, the top is capped. Oak, leather upholstered seat, 40.25 (H) x 15 (W) x 18.75 (D). B) Japanese Print Table, designed by Wright in 1898. Used in Catherine's room as a desk. 48.5 (H) x 44 (W) x 26.25 (D). C) In front of desk: Low back chair. Designed by Wright circa 1908. Very similar to the Isabel Roberts Side Chair (1908), but shorter. The main difference is an additional horizontal trim along the base of the seat which runs along the front and sides. The Cassina Catalog, 1999, p. 40-1, lists this as 608 Coonley 1, and dates the original as 1907. Possible redesign of the Roberts 1901 side chair for Coonley 1907?

In 1895, Darwin bought out George and moved him to the Larking Company in Buffalo, thus established a partnership with his brother William creating Martin & Martin, Inc. They manufactured polish under the brand E-Z polish for both stoves and shoes. William Martin first met Frank Lloyd Wright in late 1902 when he was searching for an architect to build his home in Oak Park, Illinois. Darwin D. Martin was so impressed with Wright and his brother's home that he commissioned Wright to the design the Larkin Company Administration Building (1903 - S.093) and his own home (1904 - S.100).

When the Little II house was demolished, and the Living Room moved to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the furnitureit went with, and is there today. In addition to the Print Table (1902-03), designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for the Little’s Peoria House, the living room is filled with additional furniture from Peoria. The Library Table (1902-03) which dominates one end of the living room was extended on both ends. It is now thirteen feet long. There is a Table (1902-03) next to the Sofa and Arm Chair. There are two Plant Stands (1902-03) in the living room, one on either end of the room. There are four Arm Chairs (1902-03), two close to the fireplace, one in the center and one next to the Library Table. There are two Side Chairs (1902-03), both setting close to the Print Table.        Frank Lloyd Wright designed a number of pieces specifically for the Little’s second house. Near the entrance by the fireplace is a Table (1912-14). The top is cantilevered out on both sides. The are five Floor Lamps (1912-14), two near the fireplace, two by the Print Table and one in the corner close to the Library Table.

Little Armchair Recliner, Peoria, Illinois, 1902-03 Description: Executed by John W. Ayers Co., for the Francis W. Little House (1902 - S.070), Peoria, Illinois, oak and fabric, with adjustable seat and back. Wright used variations of the reclining armchair in several of his interiors through the 1910s, including his own Oak Park studio. When designing the chairs for the Littles, Wright employed a more streamlined and open design. Beyond the thin trim that is used on the panels and supports, it is entirely without decoration, save the dynamic graining of the oak and the formation of medullary rays. Raised slightly from the floor by small casters, the chair's structure of three panels with an angled seat back and sliding seat is simple and orderly. The two side and back panels each have horizontal 'windows', or cutouts, not seen on most of the other versions. Further, Wright engineered a simple but sophisticated method of adjusting the seat by connecting it to the angled seat-back, so that it may be adjusted backward or forward for comfort. Two other armchairs of this model from the Peoria house were sold at Christie's New York on June 20, 1987 and December 12, 1987, lots 83 and 118 respectively.

The Avery Coonley house, Riverside, Illinois, 1907, was one of the best executed and most completely detailed of all Wright's residential work. Every element throughout the house came directly from his designs, including the overall architectural concepts and the individual features of furniture and decorative objects. The slat-back chair traces its roots to the very beginning of his work, in his own home at Oak Park, through the Dana, Husser, Clark, Little, Willits and other houses. In each instance he would make a modification specifically for each particular client. In the case of the Coonley house, he modified the height of the chair to give contrast when placed in conjunction with the taller, more formal ones usually associated with his early dining sets."        This chair may have been designed as a chair for the Dressing Table in Bedroom #1. In the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation Archives, Avery Library, there is a drawing for a dressing table and chair, FLLW #0803.51. This chair matches the drawing.        There is a matching chair in a photograph from 1911, Wright's Home and Studio (S#0104.15). In a bedroom for Wright's daughter Catherine, there is a Japanese Print Table, designed by Wright in 1898, used as a desk. In front of desk is a low back chair that matches this Coonley low back chair. Wright also designed a low bak chair for William E. Martin Residence, Oak Park, Illinois (1902 - S.061).        Frank Lloyd Wright also designed a matching high back dining room chair for the Coonley's in 1907. Wright made slight modifications to the Coonley high back chair for Isabel Roberts Residence (1908 - S.150).        Manufactured by Cassina, Italy. Constructed on natural cherry. Fabric: Cobalt Blue.

Specific information related to the furniture was lacking, but there were also large gaps in the correspondence. It appears that the chair and stool, as well as the table pictured, may have been a prototype. But due to the lack of funds, the existing furniture from the existing one-room school houses was consolidated and used in the new building. Size: Chair: 21 3/8" wide at the base; 32 1/8" tall; 13 1/8" seat height; 16 7/8" seat diameter; 8 7/8" seat back diameter; 17 1/8" inside diameter of the legs. Stool: 23 7/8" wide at the base; 14" tall; 15 7/8" seat diameter; 16" inside diameter of the legs. Like much of Wright's furniture, it is constructed of plywood. Plywood 5/8" thick.

Warren McArthur Jr., son of one of Wright earliest clients (1892 - S.011), held patents on designs for hollow metal frame elements. He was the brother of Albert McArthur who was once an associate of Wright in Oak Park and designer of the Biltmore Hotel in Phoenix. Warren McArthur Co., New York, manufactured the prototypes. Steelcase Company, Grand Rapids, Michigan, went on to manufacture the furniture. Tubular Aluminum, upholstered seat, leather back and arms. 32 (H) x 19 (W) x 19 (D).

Johnson Administration Building, Racine, Wisconsin, End Table, Circa 1936 (1936 - S.237). Description: S.C. Johnson Administration Building end table, constructed of enameled Cherokee red steel with round maple top. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1936. Throughout his career, a complete design included furniture. Wright first suggested the idea of furniture to the H. F. Johnson and his General Manager Jack Ramsey in 1936. The contract was finally awarded to Steelcase in June 1938. A total of forty different pieces of furniture were designed. Maple was specified for furniture in the Great Workroom, walnut for the Executive suites. The table has three legs, matching the number of legs in the original work chairs. The center stem of the table does not reach the floor. There are six horizontal stretchers per leg. The base of the tables, desks and chairs mimic the base of the columns of the Greatroom.        Photographs abound for desks and chairs, conference and office tables and desks. But we were only able to discover one partial photograph of this table, published in Johnson Wax Administration Building and Research Tower, Frank Lloyd Wright, Carter, 1998, p.17. We communicated with photographer Peter Cook and he said, “The photograph was taken at the Johnson Wax Administration Building in 1996-1997.”        In 1981, Steelcase produced a small monograph, Frank Lloyd Wright / Steelcase, which included three chair designs, three desk designs and one large square table with rounded corners.        Acquired from Toomey & Co. They indicate that the table top, although still maple, was replaced. For additional information: Frank Lloyd Wright and the Johnson Wax Building, Lipman, 1986, p.85-91.

Component parts, sized to allow for full use of 4' x 8' sheets of plywood, were precut at Taliesin and assembled at the Meeting House by apprentices working under Wright's direction in 1951... Four benches were designed, Regular, Low, Single and Extra Long. Cushions: For each regular double bench the original design used two, single seat cushions, made of denim-like, aqua blue fabric. That fabric did not wear well and also faded. A later version used a single, much thinner cushion of foam rubber covered with a longer wearing, textured, aqua blue fabric. The original covering included a flap of fabric over the bench seat back which formed a pocket for books. A later back covering system necessitated drilling holes in each bench to accommodate string ties. The benches provided the primary seating for the congregation for over 30 years, proving to be very adaptable to the multiple and varied uses of the auditorium space..." Descriptive sheet, 1983. "When the old fir plywood benches were later replaced with benches made of oak-veneer plywood (as Wright had intended), the fabric and cushion style again replicated the originals."

Description: Original two piece Dining Room table for the Benjamin Adelman House. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1951. Wright designed a laundry facility and three homes for Benjamin Adelman, and a home (two schemes) for his son, Albert Adelman. Wright's first project for Benjamin Adelman was a commercial building for his laundry and dry-cleaning business in Milwaukee in 1945. It remained a project. One year later, 1946, Benjamin's son Albert, approached Wright about designing a home for him on a lot he owned in Fox Point, Wisconsin. Scheme #1 remained a project, but Scheme #2, 1948, was completed. That same year, 1948, Wright designed a beautiful home on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan in Fox Point, Wisconsin for Benjamin Adelman. The design remained a project. In 1951, Wright designed a second home for Benjamin Adelmen in Phoenix. This home was completed and is considered to be the first Usonian Automatic House designed by Wright. In 1954 Wright designed a second home for Benjamin Adelman in Fox point, but it too remained a project.        Although the Benjamin Adelman was the first Usonian Automatic House designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, it was not the first to be built. In 1952, one year after designing the Adelman house, Wright design the second Usonian Automatic for Arthur Pieper, an apprentice, who also became his son-in-law on June 18, 1954. Pieper built his home in early 1952.        Designed in 1951, the home was not built until 1953. Benjamin Adelman purchased a lot and a half from Jorgine Boomer. Construction on the Adelman House began in 1953, and was most likely completed in late 1953 or early 1954. Shortly after the house was completed Maynard Parker photographed the house, and this dining room table was prominently featured. At the same time, Parker also photographed a Living Room coffee table of the same design.        Like other Dining Room tables from Wright's Usonian period, the dining room table was modular in style. Sections could be moved and used as separate tables. Others included the Shavin 1950, Harold Price (Arizona) 1954, and Gordon 1956. It is also similar in design to other wright tables. The Tracy dining room table is similar, but is a single piece (1955). The table is constructed of Mahogany plywood. Acquired from Toomey Galleries, Oak Park. Size: The top of the tables are 32" square and 2.5" deep. The height of the table is 27." The legs are 8" wide and turned 45 degrees. 8" up from the bottom of the legs is a 12" x 12" shelf that intersects all four legs at the corners.

Thaxton, an insurance executive, commissioned Frank Lloyd Wright to design the only home in Houston, Texas. The 1,800 square foot house, originally estimated to cost $25,000-35,000, ended up costing about $125,000 to build. "You didn't work with Mr. Wright," said Mr. Thaxton, "you presented Mr. Wright with a piece of property." The outdoor swimming pool adjacent to the master bedroom was originally designed to be partially inside the master bedroom, but Thaxton dissuaded by him. Redwood was used throughout.             DALLAS THEATER CENTER (1955)     Date: 1955 Title: Dallas Theatre Center, Kalita Humphreys Theater, Dallas, TX, Theatre Seat 1955 (1955 -S.395). Description: Original theatre seat for the Dallas Theatre Center's, Kalita Humphreys Theater. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1955. The Dallas Theater Center opened with registration and classes on September 9, 1959 and its first production on December 27, 1959. This is the only Theater ever executed by Frank Lloyd Wright. The design for this theater was first conceived for the New Theatre for Woodstock, New York (1931 Project). In 1938 Wright designed the Pfeiffer Chapel (S.251) at the Florida Southern College and utilized the original Woodstock floor plan. In 1949 the "New Theatre" was revived again in Hartford, Connecticut, but was never executed. The concept for the "New Theatre for Woodstock" was finally executed in Dallas as the Dallas Theater Center. The original cushioned seats and backs were upholstered in a textured, golden-colored fabric and the metal frame was painted a neutral color.        According to the Undermain Theatre in Dallas, Texas: "In 1983, the interior of the Dallas Theater Center was changed to provide a steeper "rake" making these seats unusable for the theatre auditorium and the Kalita Humphreys Theater then purchased new seating. Eighty of these seats were then given to the new Undermain Theatre for their use. Due to their original design (without a base), modifications were required unfinished steel "sled' bases were added to the chairs and it is thought that they were reupholstered in an orange fabric, at that time. The original wood armrests remained on the chairs, with most retaining their original seat numbers. A few seats also retain incised or brass donation identification elements on the armrests. Of interest, is that these historic seats at Undermain Theatre in Deep Ellum now reside in another historic building“ the Interstate Forwarding Company Warehouse, constructed in 1913. The warehouse building is a City of Dallas Landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The seats were restored in September 2010. The historic paint of the metal frames was touched up where necessary, the seats and backs were re-cushioned and re-upholstered with wool fabric, and the raw steel “sled' bases finished, and painted; the damaged armrests were repaired or replaced."        Unfinished steel base not designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. The original base was a single vertical tube. Executed in steel, fabric, maple topped with laminate. Seat number "17," marked inscribed in arm. Acquired from Toomey & Co., Oak Park, Illinois.

RAYWARD RESIDENCE (1955)     Date: 1955 Title: John L Rayward Residence, Tirranna, New Canaan, Connecticut, Three Chairs 1955 (1955 - S.383). Description: Two arm chairs and one side chair from the Rayward Residence. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1955, the Rayward Residence was the ninth "hemicycle" designed by Wright: Jacobs II (1944), Meyer (1948), Laurent (1949), Pearce (1950), Lewis (1952), Marden (1952), Llewellyn Wright (1953), Cooke (1953), Rayward (1955) and the Spencer (1956).        At times, these chairs have been miss-identified as Heritage Henredon chairs. The design of these chairs is similar to the design Frank Lloyd Wright created for the Heritage Henredon line of furniture, also designed in 1955. But there are significant differences. Rayward Residence is FLLW #5523, Heritage Henredon is FLLW #5529, indicating Rayward was designed first. In reality, furniture was not the first part of the design process, so it may be difficult to determine which was designed first. But like later designs for dining room tables and chairs, there are many similarities, but each table and chair was unique to the specific house.        There are similarities between early slant back chairs: the Martin and Coonley low back chairs; the dining room arm chairs for the Jacobs 1, Palmer, Mossback and Boulter; the Martin and Johnson barrel chairs; the David Wright and Papas; and we could continue.        Although there are similarities, there are also differences when comparing the Rayward and Henredon side chairs, arm chairs and tall back dining room...

Rayward Residence "Tirranna", New Canaan, Conn (1955 - S.383), 1981. Description: Oak chair, three-quarter view, facing forward and to the left. Light oak, upholstered seat, copper trim along the base, 49.5 (H) x 20 (W) x 21 (D). According to David Hanks, "Decorative Designs", 1979, pp. 164-5, the Raywards gave one chair (pictured page 165) to the Art Institute of Chicago in 1963. This was the same year the home was sold to H. R. Shepherd who completed the home. We have not located any photographs showing these chairs in the Rayward home. This design was also used in the Harold Price Sr. Residence (1954 - S.378), with a cushion added to the back (see Frank Lloyd Wright Select House 8, pp 145-7). They are also seen in the Donald Lovness Residence (1955 - S.391) (see Frank Lloyd Wright Monograph 1951-1959, pp.174-5). A slight variation has been seen at the Robert Walton Residence (1957 - S.421). Photographed by Quiriconi-Tropea Photographers. Acquired from Kelmscott Galleries. Size: Three 8 x 10 B&W photographs.

Also on display were large "Four Square" boxes, used as display pedestals, but almost appear as end tables. The high back chair, low back chair with arms and one of the hassocks were later published in "The Prairie School Tradition," 1979/1985, p.112-113.     Date: 1955 Title: Heritage-Henredon Honeycomb Lounge Chair Drawing 1955. Description: Presentation drawing for the Heritage-Henredon Honeycomb Lounge Chair. "Heritage Henredon Fine Furniture. Frank Lloyd Wright Architect. The Honeycomb Lounge Chair." Signed "FLLW April 1955." According to Jane King Hession and Debra Pickrel, "...an array of mass-produced home furnishings products (were) designed by Wright but orchestrated by (Elizabeth) Gordon herself ... Wright designed three furniture lines for Heritage-Henredon: "The Honeycomb," based on triangular shapes; "The Burberry," on circular forms; and "The Four Square," on rectilinear geometries... In the end, only "The Four Square" was produced. Incorporating elements of the other two lines, it was renamed "The Taliesin Line."

Stool and Chair 1958 (1956 - S.401). Description: Diane Lockman and Shari Ripley are reading at a Wright designed table and chairs. Built as an elementary public school, it is located a couple miles south of Taliesin and was designed by Wright in 1956. The Wyoming School District was formed to consolidate six one-room schoolhouses in the Spring Green area. The school board members approach Mr. Wright about designing a school building to serve the students of the Spring Green area. This two room school also included an assembly room that doubled as a cafeteria. It was built to Wright's design without any alterations. When he was told they couldn't afford his fee, he donated his time. When he was told they couldn't afford the building, he made a donation in his Mother's name. It is the only elementary school built from a Wright design. Published in The Milwaukee Journal, March 23, 1958.

Specific information related to the furniture was lacking, but there were also large gaps in the correspondence. It appears that the chair and stool, as well as the table pictured, may have been a prototype. But due to the lack of funds, the existing furniture from the existing one-room school houses was consolidated and used in the new building. Size: Chair: 21 3/8" wide at the base; 32 1/8" tall; 13 1/8" seat height; 16 7/8" seat diameter; 8 7/8" seat back diameter; 17 1/8" inside diameter of the legs. Stool: 23 7/8" wide at the base; 14" tall; 15 7/8" seat diameter; 16" inside diameter of the legs. Like much of Wright's furniture, it is constructed of plywood. Plywood 5/8" thick.

According to John Rattenbury, a few days before his death, Wright sketched out the plans for the home, set them aside, but never was able to returned to them, due to his death. Rattenbury completed the working drawings and specifications in 1966. Construction took place on the home for the next two years.

Sooner or later Mr. Wright had to do something about it." And do something about it he did. Wright then designed a one-piece music stand with four music racks and surmounted it with an elegant light canopy. Rosenfield even commented that the amateur musicians playing on the stand 'sound better because they look better."        Rosenfield was so enamored with the music stand he described as 'a triumph of visual integration without distraction," that he persuaded the architect to build an exact copy of it for him. The music stand was delivered on April 1, 1956 and soon was displayed at The Dallas Morning News offices for short period of time. It was then placed on indefinite loan with the Dallas Chamber Music Society where Rosenfield hoped the music stand would find a permanent home as he imagined no musician would deny using an original Wright design to maximize their performance. However, Dorothea Kelly, artistic director of the DCMS, later confessed at a retirement dinner for Rosenfield that 'the first concert we tried it, the musicians found it impossible to use. There wasn't space to turn pages and the lights didn't shine on the music." Did aesthetics mean nothing to these musicians? The humanity! Fortunately for us, the Dallas Chamber Music Society's loss was the Dallas Public Library's gain. Rosenfield just happened to be close friends with George Henderson, manager of the Fine Arts Division at the J. Erik Jonsson Central Library, who wanted to borrow the music stand for an exhibition at the library. Sometime later, Kelly was confronted by the president of DCMS, Howard Payne, who 'asked why I had given away the stand without the knowledge of the board. "Given away?' I asked in amazement. "Yes,' said Mr. Payne, "haven't you seen the lovely plaque on it which says, "Given to the Public Library by The Dallas Morning News and John Rosenfield?'" Perhaps Rosenfield did in fact give the music stand to the Dallas Public Library himself as it was not as appreciated by the DCMS musicians as he would have hoped, but as far as the rest of the Society was concerned, it was accidentally given to the Dallas Public Library. Sorry not sorry!        Mariza Morin, May 22, 2019     Photographs courtesy of the Dallas Public Library.             LYNDON BAINES JOHNSON LIBRARY MUSIC STAND     The Music Stand at the Lyndon Baines Johnson Presidential Library was built after Frank Lloyd Wright's death at the request of his wife, Olgivanna, and given as a gift to Lady Bird Johnson,             SHAVIN RESIDENCE MUSIC STAND     Seamour and Gerte Shavin Residence. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1950 on a four foot grid, and completed in 1952, this Wright residence is truly a work of art. There are many classic Wright details. The stonework, reminiscent of Fallingwater, is native Tennessee Crab Orchard sandstone. Mitered glass corners.  A wood framed corner glass doors that opens outward. A stunning example of a 12 x 16 x 16 foot  cantilevered roof over the carport that is similar to the Goetsch-Winkler home. There are double clerestory windows with cut-wood light screens. A hidden entrance. The Shavins used native red cypress trim on both the interior and exterior of the house. Like many of Wright's homes, he designed the furniture and many of the built-ins. There is a beautiful example of a music stand, dining room table and chairs, and winged back chairs, and of course, a large centrally located stone fireplace.

By Hetty Startup, Images by the Currier Museum of Art When Wright designed a house he typically created much of the furniture as well. The Zimmerman House is no exception, and its music stand contributes significantly to the building's domestic aesthetic and sense of modernity. However, as was often the case with Wright's furniture, it was not always considered very practical and was not "too popular with the professional musicians" using it. Wright's approach to design was intended to embrace the lives of his clients in more ways than one, and in this case, he wanted to support the Zimmermans' love of music and their plans for modest entertaining. Of the six quartet stands that are Wright-designed that are known to exist (two are at Taliesin, Wright's home and school in Wisconsin, one is at his winter retreat and residence called Taliesin West, in Arizona, one is at the Dallas Public Library, and the sixth at the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library in Austin, Texas), the one in the Zimmerman House is a variation of the "design matured with a more structurally sound construction than its predecessors." The quartet stand is one of thirty-three pieces of furniture for the house. All of it was made of cypress and cypress veneer, a material Wright called "the wood eternal." He chose the same material for the home's interior walls and ceilings. Wright intended the music stand to form part of an integrated domestic space. Because he was also interested in organic forms that drew their inspiration from nature, the appearance of the music stand recalls that of an abstracted plant form. Rectangular in shape, it is also sculptural, and by far the most unusual piece of furniture in the room. The four facades of the stand contain ledges to hold sheet music. It is crowned with an ingenious, removable hood or tray with space for a small artwork, a plant or a vase of flowers. This hood also shades four small lights installed underneath the hood that help to illuminate the sheet music. Four stools accompany the stand.  Like the rest of the furniture in the Zimmerman House, the music stand was constructed in a Manchester manufacturing company, under the supervision of John Geiger, Wright's on site apprentice. Like the five other Wright music stands in existence, drawings were not necessarily made; if a drawing was requested, Wright often incorporated any necessary modifications in terms of wood choice, form and detailing. In a recent correspondence, John Geiger recalled, "_ [the music stand] seemed such a natural in that [garden] room silhouetted against the grand piano. It went through a development period and no drawing existed for its finished form. [After it was finished,] Joe Fabris [another Taliesin apprentice] made a drawing from the finished product specifically for the Zimmermans...   Continue...           BACK TO TOP
