Designed in 1907 by Frank Lloyd Wright for the Avery Coonley House, this high-back solid wood chair is a skillful combination of shapes and materials in which the author uses his signature uprights to construct a sculptural piece in perfect harmony with its surroundings.

An extremely functional dining chair, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1907 for the Avery Coonley House, one of the finest examples of his prairie style home. Wright uses his signature uprights for this accomplished combination of shape and materials that blends into the context with perfect ease. As with all of the architect’s designs, the relationship with nature plays a fundamental role. The high-backed version of the chair is intended to be, above all else, functional, conferring comfort to the person using it, while its essential symmetry composed of simple and clean-cut lines make it elegant beyond compare.

Wright was born on June 8th, 1867 in Richland Center, Wisconsin, USA. Before his birth, his mother was determined that the child she was carrying would become the greatest architect of all time. A teacher herself, she discovered the Froebel system of education, known as the “kindergarten gifts”, according to which a child was taught to draw using basic geometric shapes and forms.
