Frank Lloyd Wright for Schumacher Textile Woven Swatch Collection, 1986

About the Item

Frank Lloyd Wright for Schumacher Textile Woven Swatch Collection 1986 . Rare Frank Lloyd Wright fabric swatch books published and produced by Schumacher. Three small fabric swatch books only marked "Schumacher." Ask an architecture enthusiast to name a few of Frank Lloyd Wright’s projects and you'll likely hear such icons as falling water, Taliesin or many of his recognizable homes in the suburbs of Chicago. One Wright talent most aren't aware of? Textile design. In 1955 the architect partnered with Schumacher to devise a line of fabrics. Graphic and bold, the textiles were a hit in their time, but have largely been overshadowed by Wright's architectural legacy. In 1986, during the Post-Mod Neo-Deco craze, Schumacher introduced a collection adapted from and including the architect’s designs from 1955 and earlier. The collection included textiles (wovens, sheers, etc.) as well as numerous wall covering options. A gorgeous and extremely rare original collection of swatches from this 1986 collection is available here. A number of other rare fabric and wallpaper compilations/ sample books from the 1986 collaboration are also available in my store.

  • Vision of Frank Lloyd Wright by Thomas a. Heinz Hardcover Book 1st Edition
    By Frank Lloyd Wright
    Located in North Hollywood, CA
    The Vision of Frank Lloyd Wright. by Thomas A. Heinz large heavy hardcover coffee table book. A Complete Guide To The Designs Of An Architectural Genius. Frank Lloyd Wright's career, sometimes tragic, sometimes tempestuous - at all times creative - has been examined and reexamined in numerous studies and articles both during his lifetime and since his death in 1959, which occurred shortly before the completion of his most famous project, New York's Guggenheim Museum. Virtually every structure that Wright built is represented in this extensive survey of his life's work. His genius at architectural design enable him to work out extremely complex buildings in his head and translate them on to paper in a matter of hours, as the famous story of his design presentation of Falling Water illustrates. His work continues to draw great admiration and interest to this day. His often tempestuous and sometimes tragic life and career are given full coverage in this book. Hundreds of photos, both archival and recent chart his amazing work and influence on all who followed. This concise consideration of Wright's life and work not only offers new insights into the character of this complex, powerful and at all times confident personality, but also the architectural legacy he left behind and which exists to this day in the vast number of homes and public buildings photographed...
