Light Fixture

Frank Lloyd Wright American

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 745

Inspired by the Japanese lantern designs he saw on his first trip to Japan in 1905, Wright fashioned these oak and frosted glass light fixtures (1972.60.21-.24) as vertical counterpoints to the horizontal bands of the walls and window banks in the room, the long horizontal shelves at the upper perimeter, and low built-in benches on either window wall.
