Partnership with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation
Frank Lloyd Wright collection includes representations of the original masterpieces of legendary architect, Frank Lloyd Wright. In 1955, Frank Lloyd Wright began to license his works, creating original designs for the Taliesin Ensemble of products in partnership with leading design brands. Beginning with that original work and continuing today, Frank Lloyd Wright licensed products represent refined style, through the expression of the integral relationships between the natural and the man-made, and between material and design. The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, the organization founded to preserve Wright’s legacy from the past to the future, started producing his past work as products commercially in 1985. YAMAGIWA is qualified by the Foundation as a manufacturer and a mass producer of Wright’s lighting fixtures.
Being evaluated as a reputable company with high precision Japanese wood processing technology, craftsmanship, and skilled artisans, YAMAGIWA was officially commissioned to be a licensee in 1992. After a long time of traversing, researching, and thoroughly examining original Wright’s lighting fixtures in America with the full cooperation of the Foundation, YAMAGIWA accomplished its first launch in 1993. Today, YAMAGIWA has collaborated with acclaimed Japanese architects and designers to reinterpret TALIESIN® designs and launch new products. YAMAGIWA has been manufacturing in Japan and exporting worldwide for 30 years ever since the approval under the Foundation.
