His work heralded a new thinking in architecture, using innovation in design and engineering made possible by newly developed technology and materials. His creative ability extended far beyond the border or architecture to graphic design, and decorative elements for the home. In 1933, when Frank Lloyd Wright converted the original gymnasium of his hillside Home School located in Spring Green, Wisconsin, into a theater, he designed lighting pendents composed of rectangular light boxes and plywood shields to be suspended from the tall ceiling. These fixtures proved to be a lighting innovation, providing comfortable indirect light without the use of glass or shades. In 1952 when the theater was rebuilt following a fire, Wright modified the design of the original fixtures for use in the dining room, attaching them to the oak beam overhead. He found their soft indirect light so pleasing that he had a standing floor lamp of the same design fabricated for use in his own home, Taliesin. Each lamp is 16″ x 16″ at the base and 80 in. The lamp has 10 shades with 11 reflectors all made from solid wood and. Has (10) 15 Watt incandescent bulbs pre-installed as well as an on/off foot switch for easy power management.
