L.&J.G. Stickley, Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation Sign Licensing Agreement for Furniture
Manlius, NY — L.&J.G. Stickley and Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation have sign exclusive licensing agreement for a new inspired-by residential furniture collection. The first phase of the collection will launch in the spring.
The collection will include exclusive furniture designs for living rooms, dining rooms and bedrooms, with additional opportunities for accent pieces and signature designs. Creative direction will draw from Wright’s broader design principles while allowing room for both historically informed replicas and original furniture inspired by his work.
“We are honored by the opportunity to interpret Frank Lloyd Wright’s extraordinary legacy through the lens of Stickley’s craftsmanship and materials, and it’s a responsibility that we take very seriously,” said Edward Audi, president of Stickley. “Our founders and Wright were contemporaries who shared a commitment to design that was uniquely American. We’re excited to bring his ideas to life for today’s homes with the lasting quality that only Stickley can provide.”
“Frank Lloyd Wright was interested in the holistic design of his projects, wherein the design of furniture was integral in completing Wright’s vision,” said Sally Russell, director of licensing, the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation. “Wright used the furniture in his buildings like scaled-down architecture, creating its own composition wherever it is placed. The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation looks forward to seeing how Stickley will interpret Wright’s organic design philosophy in beautiful new furniture for contemporary homes.”
