Frank Lloyd Wright’s overall concept for his buildings included the integration of the interior furnishings. In 1952, he developed a series of hexagonal metal chairs, tables and other furniture for the H.C. Price Tower in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, that coordinated with the geometric shape of the building. Adapted from the hexagonal hassock design, the 12″ Frank Lloyd Wright® Hexagon Globe as part of the  Frank Lloyd Wright® Collection exemplifies the three Organic Elements used by Wright throughout his lifetime.  The metal base is triangular, the heagonal globe support is wood, and the globe is circular.
