Stanza della casa di Francis W. Little, Wayzata, Minnesota

Architect Frank Lloyd Wright American
1912–14
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 745
Questa stanza, la più recente tra gli ambienti d’epoca dell’ala americana, è un’opera del più famoso architetto americano, Frank Lloyd Wright. Originariamente fu costruita come un’enorme sala di ricevimento a sé stante a un’estremità di una casa nei pressi di Minneapolis, nel Minnesota, per Francis W. Little e sua moglie. Con il soffitto basso e gli ampi cornicioni sovrastanti, le finiture di quercia bianca non dipinte e la serie di vetrate piombate trasparenti, la stanza è un esempio caratteristico dello stile “prateria” impiegato da Wright per le costruzioni domestiche. I mobili furono tutti disegnati da Wright e disposti esattamente come lui li aveva concepiti. I pezzi di colore chiaro furono fabbricati per questa stanza, mentre quelli scuri appartenevano ad un’altra casa che Wright aveva progettato per i Little a Peoria, in Illinois, nel 1903.
