    The style of furniture that Frank Lloyd Wright used varied. Wright's wooden chairs and tables for his “Prairie Houses” of the early 1900s have sleek, attenuated forms, influenced by both the simplicity of traditional Japanese design and the work of Gustav Stickley and other designers of the Arts and Crafts movement. For several residential projects, Wright designed severely geometric chairs that are marvels of reductivist design. For the Price Tower in Oklahoma, Wright designed angular wooden desks as well as upholstered pedestal chairs made of chromed steel that are more in line with the mid-century modern style. On 1stDibs, shop a range of Frank Lloyd Wright furniture.
