Frank Lloyd Wright was always experimenting with his architecture designs. This was the case with what he called "pole lights" for a number of years starting early on with his own home at Taliesin.

For SAMARA, he designed five such lights - one on the hi-fi table among a variety of specially selected candles, a small one on a television table located behind over-stuffed chairs , and a standing one at the side of the fireplace, all in the living room.

He designed a fourth standing pole light for the dining room and a fifth as a hanging light on the carport brick wall.

All of these pole lights are different in detail but consist of the same basic ideas for casting shadows and providing soft, indirect lighting in critical parts of the house and property.

There is a central pole on which is attached at different angles and levels rectangular wood pieces hiding the light bulb from view. This design produces varying numbers of shielded, indirect light sources. Pink light bulbs were specified creating a soft, naturally appearing light flowing over the surface of the wood, brick and ceiling.
