An unique aspect of the furniture designed for SAMARA is its versatilty. It is adaptable to more than one use or function and can be stacked, turned or moved around, and combined in different shapes.

The six triangular tables making up the long coffee table in the living room come apart to provide for individual seats. Placing two of them together forms a diamond shaped table; three of them together form a still different shape, and they can be rearrnged farther to form an hexagonal table.

The triangular-shaped tables are also designed to be stacked one on top of the other forming an unusual architectural combination and design. The hassocks can be stacked to form lamp tables as desired and when turned over with a metal liner inserted become large planters.

Children visiting the house are delighted to learn that the spaces within the hassocks become secret hiding places for items hidden away by the Christian's daughter whenever she was a young child.


Mr. Wright designed three pieces of furniture which he labeled stack tables. These are normally positioned in an over-lapping manner on the steps in the living room.

When stacked the tables form a most striking pagoda-like piece of furniture oriental in character.
