Franck LLOYD WRIGHT (1867-1959) for CASSINA Editions. Suite of five "Barrel chairs 606" model cherrywood armchairs, the slightly overturned wraparound back extended to the base with openwork decoration of bars (chips, wear, some parts slightly insolated). Edition and designer stamp and numbered: 26004; 26046; 26064; 27833; 27848. Pebbles in fawn imitation leather by Cassina. Height : 80 cm - Width : 54 cm - Depth : 54 cm Created in 1937 and produced from 1986. Note: American architect closely associated with the Chicago Group, in which he developed his famous Prairie style with Dwight H. Perkins, characterized by horizontal lines, harmonious integration with the landscape and open plans. The latter part of Wright's career was devoted to the Guggenheim Museum project in New York, from 1943 to 1959. He also designed furniture with multicultural influences: Japan, the Mayan civilization... Originally designed in 1904 for the D.D. Martin house in Buffalo, New York, this emblematic model of armchair marked a break with his earlier creations of furniture with clean lines, notably thanks to its rounded shape. It featured a flared backrest, square spindle supports and a circular, double-sided upholstered seat. In 1937, Frank Lloyd Wright reinterpreted the Barrel Chair in a larger version, christened "Wingspread", for Herbert F. Johnson's residence, to suit the vast rooms and impressive ceiling height.
