The side chair by Frank Lloyd Wright, 1901
In 1900 Frank Lloyd Wright received a commission from manufacturer Ward Winfield
Willits (1859-1950) to design a new house in Highland Park, Illinois. The house and
its accompanying furnishings are recognized today as Wright's first residential masterpiece
in the Prairie School style. This chair was designed as part of the dining room suite
and, like all of the house's furnishings, it served as an integral part of the architectural
scheme.
The arrangement of the high-back dining room chairs around an imposing table created
a setting that Wright deemed appropriate for formal dining.
