Wright Floor GlobeThis world globe stand is an authentic reproduction from a drawing found in the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation archives.  It is an unidentified concept for one of the Prairie Homes that Mr. Wright de-signed in the early 1900s. The only marking on the drawing is in his handwriting and says, “Something like this.” The proportions, and interpretation, of the drawing were calculated based on the scale of other drawings from this time period.

Barrel Floor GlobeThis world globe barrel stand is an adaptation of one of the most universally recognized furniture designs found in the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation archives. It is a modified version of the famous “Barrel Chair” originally designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1903 and modified for his personal use at “Taliesin” in Spring Green, Wisconsin and for Herbert F. Johnson for his home “Wingspread” in Racine, Wisconsin in 1937.
