The collections, an expansion of the organizations' collaboration, reintroduce Frank Lloyd Wright's iconic pieces and reinterpret his midcentury, Usonian style designs into fine modern furniture for the home and workplace. The furnishings in the Rockford and Galesburg collections reflect Wright's "organic architecture" philosophy of working with readily available materials like wood, glass, concrete and plywood to make his designs more easily available to the public, while simultaneously tailoring his designs to meet the human needs of his individual clients.

"We're proud to bring Wright's philosophy forward with our newest collections of Usonian-inspired furniture for the home and workplace, advancing his vision to make great design available to everyone."
