How An Upholstery Collection Nods To Frank Lloyd Wright

The upholstery collection Elemental Wright is rooted in its namesake’s teachings: namely, Frank Lloyd Wright’s integration of nature into the built environment to conjure wellbeing. The three patterns are creative explorations of basic mathematical forms. Pentimento, a pentagonal motif that stems from a drawing made by Vernon D. Swaback, one of Wright’s youngest apprentices, combines floral and geometric elements. Circulate dials in on the qualities of a circle, organized in a grid with varied textures and tones. Vertex riffs on the triangle, the fractals an example of organic architecture that predated today’s biophilic and human-centered design. All are made from blends of nylon, solution-dyed acrylic, and postconsumer-recycled polyester, so durability is assured. Through Designtex.
