My first visit to Falling Water on Sunday, Frank Lloyd Wright's most famous and most recognizable building really left me with an appreciation for the architect and the realization that millions have been aware of for more than a century. He was a visionary and a genius. I was awe inspired by the integration of nature all through the residence that was once owned by the Kaufman family, known in Pittsburgh for Kaufman's Department Store. Falling Water was entrusted to the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy and now costs over 1 million dollars per year to maintain. Multitudes of architects from all over the world visit Falling Water annually.
The most impressive aspect of Falling Water for me was the interior detailing. I was really fascinated by Lloyd's use of lighting, how every window functioned and how every piece of furniture was placed and integrated within the home. It was also very interesting to learn from the tour guide that Frank Lloyd Wright's career was completely revitalized with the completion of Falling Water. In fact, he went on to design 400 buildings and 200 of those buildings conceived were actually built.
You don't have to be a Kaufman to own a piece of Frank Lloyd Wright furniture. Weisshouse is the exclusive retailer of Cassina, the only licensed manufacturer legally permitted to reproduce Frank Lloyd Wright's iconic furniture. Stop in the Weisshouse showroom to learn more about Cassina and the beautiful masterpieces that will fit perfectly in the decor of your home.
