Frank Lloyd Wright's Unbuilt Chair Designs Come to Life in New Exhibition
Frank Lloyd Wright's unbuilt chair designs are finally coming to life. Until 2025, they existed only as sketches and fragments. Now, the Museum of Wisconsin Art presents 'Frank Lloyd Wright: Modern Chair Design', featuring over forty works and reconstructed chairs based on Wright's archival drawings.
The exhibition spans Wright's evolution as a furniture designer, from 1911 to 1959. Highlights include cafe chairs intended for the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, fabricated for the first time. Visitors can experience Wright's lost designs, offering new insights into his creative process during different career phases.
The project, led by John Smith, combines traditional woodworking with contemporary precision. It interprets Wright's two-dimensional drawings, establishing a methodology for recovering other lost design treasures from architectural archives. Wright's philosophy of furniture as integral architectural elements is demonstrated throughout the exhibition, showcasing his belief in 'integral ornamentation'.
The 'Frank Lloyd Wright: Modern Chair Design' exhibition runs from October 4, 2025, to January 25, 2026, at the Museum of Wisconsin Art in West Bend. It offers a unique opportunity to explore Wright's unbuilt chair designs and understand his creative process better.
