With its references to the Post-war modern architecture, and in particular to the Chicago Group which Frank Lloyd Wright was the most famous ambassador, this collection incorporates the materials used at the time (wood, steel and glass) in an asymmetric architecture defined by a dominant horizontality. The aesthetic vocabulary of the later-called “Prairie school” architectural style was characterized by large bay windows, overhang roofs, solid construction and integration to the surrounding landscape. The prominent use of glass in this collection was then an evidence in the first sketches, as transparency and light were two key elements of the “Prairie style”. Overhang architectural elements are symbolized by the pin-trays featured on the cabinets above the glass tops. Metal legs are supporting one side of the cabinets, while a monolithic wooden block is supporting the other, creating the asymmetry typical of mid-century’s modernists, with a vertical structural element.
