SAMARA Colors and Their Use
A Frank Lloyd Wright Masterpiece

Frank Lloyd Wright's Colors and Their Use in the Usonian Home

SAMARA, a Work of Art An Integrated, Unified Work of Art

Natural colors, unique fabrics and materials, stylized designs, strong geometrics with open spaces, built-in furniture, brilliant building siting on the land, cantilevers, light and shadows, landscaping, colored art glass windows, clerestory light screens, accessories, even china and clothing - you name it - Frank Lloyd Wright designed it.

Together, these features create the architectural signature of Frank Lloyd Wright. No other architect has left such a profound mark on how our buildings look. Wright indelibly changed the way we think about the spaces in which we live.

The result was always an integrated, unified work of art forcefully and signicantly exemplified in several sleek, elegant and luxurious Usonian homes he designed during the last ten years of his most prolific career. Wright was a keen innovator and never ceased the development of new ideas in each new building design.
