[Chair] Frank Lloyd Wright, one America's greatest architects, designed this chair. He considered furniture design to be an integral part of architectural design. His furniture, including this chair, was usually made of oak.

When Wright designed Tokyo's Imperial Hotel and its furnishings, he created this chair for use in several public rooms. The strong geometric shapes incorporated into the chair--the hexagon, triangle, and square--echo the hotel's architectural details.
