| TWO-DIMENSIONAL PIECES DECORATIVE ARTS SCULPTURE FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT DESIGNED FURNITURE | |
The collections of the Fallingwater Museum are comprised of more than 950 works of art including prints, paintings, sculpture, furniture, ceramics, art glass, and miscellaneous household objects. Of particular significance in the collection are the 169 pieces of original walnut furniture, custom designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for Fallingwater. These pieces represent one of the most complete ensembles of Wright designed, site-specific furniture. Over the course of their tenure, the Kaufmann family furnished Fallingwater with an eclectic range of objects. These objects underlined the family’s belief in the power of good design to enrich the quality of modern life, a belief shared by Frank Lloyd Wright. Through the Kaufmann department store and Edgar Kaufmann, jr.’s association with the Museum of Modern Art in New York, they promoted the work of modern designers from all over the world. The family’s influence helped bridged the gap between the commercial market and the design world. | |
