Spring 2000 SAMARA Furniture and Its Use In A Frank Lloyd Wright Designed Home Dining Table and Chairs Wally Rogers ![]()
The construction of the dining chairs and table was under taken by Gary Carter, a local master craftsman and furniture maker. The dining furniture, unlike other wood furniture in the house, is made from solid Philippine mahogany instead of from veneer covered plywood.
After cutting five different, but identically matching, angled cut-outs into each half of the wood back, the boards were laid side by side and glued back together to create the back of each chair.
The cut-outs, when lined-up side by side produce the classic abstraction of winged-seeds in motion, or SAMARA, the motif designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for the house and property.
The wooden pieces of the dining chairs are fitted together perfectly to create a solid, compact and a highly integrated set of beautiful furniture.
