Frank Lloyd Wright: The Rooms: Interiors and Decorative Arts Hardcover – Illustrated, October 21, 2014
Purchase options and add-ons
An invitation into the evocative, human-scaled, and artful interiors designed by Wright. Frank Lloyd Wright: The Rooms presents the warm interior spaces and exceptional design work of this beloved American master. Wright was an early proponent of "total design." Unsatisfied with what was available in designing a given space or home, he invented what was needed, developing a language of architectural detail and styling that is unique and which extended to the tables, bookcases, easy chairs, sofas, and cabinets; to rugs and murals; to stonework; to stained glass "light screens," which served as windows, doors, and room partitions; and lighting. This approach was manifested distinctly in each of his residential projects. This book offers the reader an immersion into this work by means of extraordinary artful detail in intimately explored rooms and spaces. From the Oak Park Home and Studio in Illinois to the majestically appointed Darwin D. Martin House with its abundance of art glass, including Wright’s famous "Tree of Life" and "Wisteria" designs, this luxurious volume ranges over the whole of Wright’s oeuvre. It highlights a number of Wright masterpieces, including Hollyhock House, the mysterious Aztec-like home and arts complex built on a hill in Los Angeles; the Dana House, with its luminous "butterfly" transom glass; and the fabled living room at Fallingwater.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"...Sophisticated volume, sure to enthrall architectural aficionados and casual enthusiasts alike..." –Bask
“...his book goes to show Wright was just as concerned with the interiors of his designs as he was the outside. Frank Lloyd Wright The Rooms gives us a look inside the fabled homes he designed and shows us how he designed what he felt was needed when he couldn’t find it. From furniture to lighting and windows, Wright designed all of it. This book takes us on a journey through Wright’s work from the living room of Fallingwater to Hollyhock House in Los Angeles" –Tabulous Design

5.0 out of 5 stars If you are a fan of FLW you need this book.
Excellent quality book. Good informative write-ups and great pictures. Would liked to have seen a few more homes covered, and there were a couple that were covered that were a bit short on information. Still no hesitation to give it a 5 star rating. Worth the price.
