As such, the venerable textile company has ventured to release a set of fabrics with graphics created by the legendary architect, many of which have never been released to the public before. Schumacher's recently released [Frank Lloyd Wright textile collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frank-in-the-loom) includes 40 designs. The company had previously run 26 of these [geometric patterns with primary colors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chilewich-collection), but the remaining 14 are completely new textiles with designs based on Wright's drawings and sketches. The fabrics were released in conjunction with the [Frank Lloyd Wright Trust](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blockitecture-frank-lloyd-wright), and they were quickly approved in order to coincide with the 150th anniversary of the late architect's birthday. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 65% | Activity: 23% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Architectural Textile Designs:** The re-issuing of Frank Lloyd Wright graphics as fabrics may inspire other textile manufacturers to collaborate with architects or artists to bring new, unique designs to market. - **Heritage-inspired Textile Collections:** Introducing a collection tied to a historical figure, such as Frank Lloyd Wright, may inspire other textile companies to create collections inspired by other notable architects or artists. - **Architectural Consumer Goods:** The release of this collection highlights the potential for architectural graphics to be applied to other consumer goods, such as home decor, furniture, or even fashion accessories. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Textile Manufacturing:** Textile manufacturers may consider partnering with architects or artists to bring unique and historic designs to market, as Schumacher did with Frank Lloyd Wright's graphics. - **Home Decor:** Home decor industries could leverage the popularity of Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural designs by incorporating them into their products, potentially offering customers unique and historically significant options. - **Fashion Accessories:** The use of architectural graphics in fabrics and textiles may inspire fashion accessory companies to incorporate similar designs into their products, potentially adding a new level of novelty and uniqueness to their offerings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Collaborative Architect Furniture Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steelcase-frank-lloyd-wright.md) - [Architecturally Inspired Teas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frank-lloyd-wright-collection.md) - [Minimal Joint Furniture Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rockford-and-galesburg.md) - [Juxtaposing Stacked Lighting Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frank-lloyd-wright-series.md) - [Architect-Honoring Home Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lindal-imagine-series.md) - [Stacked Wooden Light Fixtures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taliesin.md) - [Architect-Inspired House Plans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/usonian-philosphy.md) - [Architecture-Inspired Building Blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blockitecture-frank-lloyd-wright.md) - [Architect-Inspired Design Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/usonian.md)
