taliesin 2 floor lamp
Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright

When Frank Lloyd Wright converted the original gymnasium of his Hillside Home School (1902) into a theater, he designed lighting pendants made up of square boxes and plywood shields to be suspended from the tall ceiling. These fixtures proved to be a lighting innovation, providing comfortable indirect lighting without the use of glass or shades.

In 1952, when the theater was rebuilt following a fire, Wright modified the design of the original fixtures for use in his dining room, attaching them to the oak beams overhead. He found their soft indirect light so pleasing that he had a standing floor lamp version of the same design fabricated for use in his own home, Taliesin.

Cherry finish. UL approved, ten 15W incandescent bulbs.
