RiverCeramic is bringing to market recreations of architect and designer Frank Lloyd Wright’s ceramic vases and lamp designs for the upcoming High Point Market.
The new products will be on display inside the showroom RiverCeramic shares with parent company Fangio Lighting, IHFC W251.
Crafted by American artisans at RiverCeramic’s Mounds, Ill., facility, the first pieces are offered in five rich glazes.
“We are honored to partner with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation” said Gene McGahan, vice president of sales and merchandising at RiverCeramic. “Frank Lloyd Wright viewed interior decorative pieces as important as structural elements in creating an integrated environment to produce, what he called, a beautiful life. By bringing back these pottery pieces designed in the late 1920’s, we feel that we are keeping alive his ideas and timeless designs for current and future home owners.”
The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation exists to preserve Taliesin and Taliesin West for future generations, and to enrich society through an understanding of Frank Lloyd Wright’s ideas, architecture, and design. Wright’s distinctive architectural designs range from residences executed in the Prairie Style of the late 19th century, to modern styles including Fallingwater, the Usonian homes, and the construction of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York in the late 1950s.
“Mr. Wright believed that beautiful objects could positively impact our lives,” said David Oates, director of licensing and retail at the Foundation. “These distinctive and superbly crafted ceramic pieces are perfect for any home – from Arts & Crafts to Mid-Century to Contemporary interiors. I am so pleased that RiverCeramic is bringing them back, especially as we start celebrating Wright’s innovation, design and impact on how we live today, during the 150th anniversary of his birth.”
