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.
