Bask“...his book goes to show Wright was just as concerned with the interiors of his designs as he was the outside.
Frank Lloyd Wright The Rooms gives us a look inside the fabled homes he designed and shows us how he designed what he felt was needed when he couldn’t find it. From furniture to lighting and windows, Wright designed all of it. This book takes us on a journey through Wright’s work from the living room of Fallingwater to Hollyhock House in Los Angeles" –
