Description: Oak chair, three-quarter view, facing forward and to the right, the seat is upholstered, circa 1955. See House & Home - December, 1952, p. 66-73. Table and chairs are visible in this issue. Frank Lloyd Wright’s first use of this design was in 1925 for Taliesin in Spring Green, Wisconsin, (Decorative Designs, Hanks, 1979 p. 142). In 1948 the design became a part of the Herman T. Mossberg Residence (1948 - S.302), (Furniture, Heinz, 1993, p. 60-61). They were also included in the Jacobs 1 Residence (possibly mid 1980s) (1936 - S.234) (Interior Style, Ehrlich, 2003, p. 47, 132-3). An image in "Historic Preservation", July-Sept, 1976, p. 10 does not show these chairs, nor does "Building with Frank Lloyd Wright", Jacobs, 1978. A slight variation was designed for the Palmer Residence (1950 - S.332) (Wright Style, Lind, 1992, p. 149-150). According to the notes supplied with these photographs from Kelmscott Galleries, "the oak dining table and six chairs were commissioned by an art professor in Kansas City circa 1955." Chairs: 32.5 (H) x 21.75 (W) x 18.5 (D). Acquired from Kelmscott Galleries.

Frank Lloyd Wright, the most widely recognized architect of the century, design several buildings in Indiana and across the state that still bring mixed reactions from the observing public. Some of us feel that his buildings are very different from what we are used to seeing and others of us see his work as the manifestation of his creative design genius. We have prepared this exhibit to help us all understand the importance of his design philosophy and to appreciate his influence on the quality of contemporary home design..."
