MODERN
CHAIR DESIGN
Frank Lloyd Wright:
The Museum of Wisconsin Art
(MOWA) exhibit Frank Lloyd
Wright: Modern Chair Design
highlights the famed designer's
novel approach to modern
furniture design through more
than forty of Wright's most
significant domestic furniture
pieces — many on view for
the first time — as well as
sketches, animated renderings,
and archival photographs. The
exhibit runs Oct. 4-Jan. 25, 2026.
Based on the research of
architectural historian Eric Vogel,
scholar-in-residence at the
Taliesin Institute, the exhibition
reveals that Wright's furniture
design deserves as much study
as his architectural works.
According to Vogel, when
Wright rebuilt Taliesin, his
Wisconsin home and studio,
after two major fires, he paired
the new architecture with new
and unprecedented furniture
forms which were rejected by
his clients.
