This series of light fixtures represents original Frank Lloyd Wright masterpieces.

Inspired by the natural effects of light in nature, he believed the sun and moonlight that filters through leaves and branches to be beautiful. They are composed of a series of illuminated rectangular, solid wood boxes that act like branches and leaves to provide an organic sculptural composition to this floor lamp. The boxes provide soft, patterned, indirect illumination while concealing the light sources and reducing glare.

About Frank Lloyd Wright
Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) is one of the most legendary figures in American architecture of the twentieth century. He was recognized in 1991 by the American Institute of Architects as “the greatest American architect of all time.” He designed more than 1,000 structures in his 70-year career. As his masterpieces, Fallingwater and Guggenheim Museum have been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As he is known for coining the term “organic architecture”, he established his architectural style, believing that architecture should be at home in nature. He sets importance on the harmonious relationship between the occupant, structure, and landscape. Prairie houses in the early 20th century and the Usonian houses after the 1930s are remarkable examples of which are emphasized by horizontal lines. He preferred open spaces with no partitions or doors and tended to make the ceiling lower to make people feel comfortable. Inspired by nature and what it should be like, he designed buildings including furniture and lighting fixtures which are harmonized with surroundings and occupants.
