About this product

Product Information

If you've ever wanted to step inside a house designed by frank Lloyd Wright or if you've ever dreamed of living in one The Wright Style offers the next best thing: an extraordinary look inside dozens of Wright's incomparable houses, all of them filled with countless inspiring ideas from America's favorite architect. From "pure" Wright houses to homes where his decorative magic has been mixed with related styles, the book captures the essence of the architect's timeless designs the spaces, the textures, the colors, the light, the furniture, the special features that all say Frank Lloyd Wright. As the magnificent houses here show, each of Wright's buildings was a complex composition of many interrelated elements; he regarded them as symphonies. Wright designed not just the shell, but everything inside as well: furniture, skylights, art glass windows, light fixtures, textiles, carpets, wall murals, decorative accessories, even the landscaping. Illustrating how Wright affected and inspired other houses, The Wright Style also presents interpretations of Wright's principles by some of his followers and apprentices providing a guided walk through a century of his unsurpassed influence on design. And for those who love Wright but who cannot live in complete, authentic rooms or purchase antique Wright furnishings, the book's catalogue of products makes it possible at least to bring a touch of the Wright style home. "Wright's ideas have so permeated our architectural world that we have lost track of the source," writes author Carla Lind. "His open floor plans led to family rooms, kitchens open to living areas, indoor spaces open to outdoor living spaces, garden rooms, decks, and carports. His use of glass opened window walls and brought generous amounts of light and inspiring vistas into rooms. He altered America's collective subconscious. By bringing together many elements and inspirations, most neither new nor original, he was able to synthesize fresh new forms that reflected the character of the nation."

    A must have for any WRIGHT fan and I will tell you why

    This book is a new addition to my Frank Loyd Wright books, I have aprox 10 and it is one of my favorites. Most all books on his work do not contain very good close up photo's and detail of his homes or funiture, this book does both almost all pictures are shot in color and with a studio camera. Very well written, this book takes you inside some of Wrights best houses furnished with some of his furniture including a picture for each piece with description indexed in the back pages. For me if I could only have one of his books this would be it! period!

    Carla Lind's The Wright Style

    Among the many volumes about FLW, whether used copies, new publications, or various reprint editions, this work of Carla Lind goes to the details of his work with great relish, empathetic with his personal taste. We get a feeling for why such furnishings correspond with his upbringing and nature. FLW saw nature in architecture as a complete system of living space with his lifetime of designs blending with the natural elements. This is a book to explore creations of FLW and shop for recreations of many of those treasures.
