About the Exhibition
Frank Lloyd Wright: Modern Chair Design examines Wright’s lesser-known but deeply thoughtful approach to furniture. Through original pieces, models, drawings, and new scholarship, the exhibition reveals how Wright used chair design to articulate ideas about structure, spatial rhythm, and modern life.
