Fall 1999 SAMARA Furniture and Its Use In A Frank Lloyd Wright Designed Home The Architect Within Doug Wintin ![]()
As his old master used to say, Frank Lloyd Wright always thought simple - meaning reduce the whole of its parts into the simplest terms, getting back to first principles.
Wright's designs were simple enough in nature that the on-site carpenter or homeowner could often construct the furniture without the having to utilize highly skilled craftsmen. The only design style that truly was for and by the "common man". Creating well-designed furnishings for every man is an example of organic architecture as the "architecture of democracy".
The furnishings at SAMARA are used to enhance this principle of Wright's architecture. The human scale, construction materials, colors and textures all play roles in the final feeling of the home as an integrated, organic whole as Wright intended when the furnishings of SAMARA were specified.
