From October 4th, 2025, to January 25th, 2026, the Museum of Wisconsin Art (MOWA) presents Frank Lloyd Wright: Modern Chair Design, the first exhibition to treat the architect's furniture as essential to his vision. Bringing together more than 40 chairs, many never exhibited before, alongside sketches, photographs, digital renderings, and newly constructed works, the show reveals how Wright's furniture was integral to the environments he created.
When Frank Lloyd Wright accepted a commission to design what would become the Ennis House, a 6,000-square-foot residence nestled in the hills of Los Feliz, California, he had no idea he was crafting an eventual film star. Having made more than 80 onscreen appearances, the home is now a veritable Hollywood icon and has been featured Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Day of the Locust, and Blade Runner, among others.
"The entries to his buildings always have a relatively low ceiling, without exception. It provides a bit of compression so when you move through the house, and you emerge into the living spaces, the compression is relieved and you have the expansion and a much greater sense of the space that you move into."
"The Elizabeth and Rollin Furbeck House is acclaimed as a major transitional, experimental and innovative work of America's most famous architect, Frank Lloyd Wright."
"The Price Tower, with its unique architectural design, represents more than just a building; it is an emblem of Frank Lloyd Wright's vision and legacy that deserves preservation."
