Pair of stools / tables from Price Tower by Frank Lloyd Wright, 1956, copper and wood. The stools showcase the Japanese influence present throughout Wright’s career and have a beautiful patina featuring the same patinated copper as the exterior panels of the Price Tower. The stools have origami-like bent copper legs in the same spirit of the building and were in the executive suites, the 16th floor commissary and used by Harold & Carolyn Price at their Hillside residence also designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.
Frank Lloyd Wright's only realized skyscraper, Price Tower continues to be one of the most compelling and inspired projects in his long career. The furniture he designed existed in conversation with the building's exterior diminishing the boundary between 'in here' and 'out there'.
These can function as stools or tables and have an amazing patina thats developed over the last 68 years.
