![]() Graff views the licensing platform as a “rising tide that lifts all boats” situation.Įvery new product would need to meet the organization’s specific style guide, and receive permission from the foundation, which must also sign off on all packaging and marketing material. For instance, when products based on specific designs at specific Wright properties sell, such as the Tree of Life window at the Darwin Martin house, the specific site and foundation split the proceeds. The proceeds of any new product sales will go to the foundation, primarily to fund preservation at places like Taliesin East and West, and to fund publications and educational initiatives around Wright’s career and work. He pointed to this reproduction of an origami-like chair Frank Lloyd Wright designed for his home and studio at Taliesin West in Arizona by Cassina, an Italian furniture company, as an example of the types of products he envisions. ![]() ![]() Stuart Graff, President and CEO of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, said any new products would need to meet a high quality standard. The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation already has an Amazon page, but Graff believes online sales can grow. Graff also envision a more robust, multichannel strategy, with items appearing in retail outlets as well as online. The foundation is bringing in young designers to “remix” some of Wright’s fabric and other designs, and look at Wright through a contemporary lens. Graff pointed to some existing and previous partnerships as examples of what to expect, such as Shigeru Ban’s reinterpretation of a Taliesin lamp for the Japanese brand Yamagiwa. The foundation is looking in an expanded line of products, including home furnishings, floor coverings, rugs, wall coverings, and home goods, as well as products such as masonry veneers, hardwood flooring, and architectural millwork, all with the aim of getting more of Wright’s work into contemporary homes. What we’re looking at is how relevant he is to contemporary living.”Ĭurrently, many potential projects and collaborations-including new furniture pieces, home goods, and even agreements to sell at new retail outlets-are still under discussion, with plans to start rolling out items in the fall and throughout 2020. No hidden reserve price.“I think in the past, the focus was on serving the museum shops and serving Frank Lloyd Wright sites by creating souvenirs and memorabilia.
