| Frank Lloyd Wright Globes Collection |  Frank Lloyd Wright's overall concept of his buildings included the integration of the furniture and decorative objects. Replogle Globes is honored to produce a new line of globes adapted from select Wright drawings and concepts, chosen by Replogle and authorized by the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation.
Frank Lloyd Wright (June 8, 1867 – April 9, 1959) was an American architect of Welsh descent, interior designer, writer, and educator who designed more than 1,000 projects, of which more than 500 resulted in completed works.
Wright promoted organic architecture (exemplified by Fallingwater), was a leader of the Prairie School movement of architecture (exemplified by the Robie House and the Westcott House), and developed the concept of the Usonian home (exemplified by the Rosenbaum House). His work includes original and innovative examples of many different building types, including offices, churches, schools, hotels, and museums. Wright also often designed many of the interior elements of his buildings, such as the furniture and stained glass.
Wright authored twenty books and numerous articles and was a popular lecturer in the United States and in Europe. His colorful personal life frequently made headlines, most notably for the 1914 fire and murders at his Taliesin studio.
Already well-known during his lifetime, Wright was recognized in 1991 by the American Institute of Architects as "the greatest American architect of all time".
