Fall 1999 SAMARA Furniture and Its Use In A Frank Lloyd Wright Designed Home The Architect Within Doug Wintin ![]()
Frank Lloyd Wright would never have separated the aesthetic from the equation of form and function. He used very traditional appearing materials (such as the mahogany in SAMARA) in conjunction with the rectilinear forms of the Usonian style furnishings while at the same time manipulating the scale of the furnishings in order to keep from giving the pieces an uncomfortable and heavy appearance.
The designs for the chairs, sofas, hassocks, tables and TV trays are organic architecture of a small scale. They work within the realm of the Usonian house and create the feeling of "home" in conjunction with the architecture.
