The Steelcase + Frank Lloyd Wright collection has been created in collaboration between the furniture brand and the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation as a series of chic pieces that pay homage to the iconic architect. The collaboration consists of two collections including the Galesburg and the Rockford, which each incorporate aspects of Usonian design into their form. The Rockford Collection draws inspiration from Wright's Laurent house with elements of modularity and polygonal shapes in the mix, while the Galesburg Collection includes sectionals, sofas and lounge chairs that each prioritize clean lines with geometric forms.
President and CEO of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation Stuart Graff spoke on the Steelcase + Frank Lloyd Wright collections saying, "Looking into the Foundation archive and studying certain homes provided us with a lens to create these collections that really move beyond the more well-known Prairie style. We're in dialogue with Frank Lloyd Wright's whole body of work, uncovering ideas that matter to our customers, aesthetically and historically, and which feel even more relevant today."
