How have working conditions changed in recent years for frank lloyd wright?
Frank Lloyd Wright & Copeland Furniture The great American architect Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) never built a project in Vermont. He never lived in Vermont. As far as we know, he never even visited Vermont. In fact, the closest connection he had came when New Hampshire clients gifted him with a tin of Vermont maple syrup. But now, almost half a century after his death, his artistic influence is playing an important part in the Vermont economy. For the past 16 months, Copeland Furniture of Bradford, a privately-held, family-owned-and-operated luxury furniture manufacturer, has had the exclusive rights to reproduce some of Wright’s Prairie Era furniture designs. These currently include a dining room table with high-backed chairs, a full living room, and a bedroom set, and more is to come.

Frank Lloyd Wright (born Frank Lincoln Wright, June 8, 1867 – April 9, 1959) was an American architect, interior designer, writer and educator, who designed more than 1,000 projects, which resulted in more than 500 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, sky scrapers, hotels, and museums. Wright also often designed many of the interior elements of his buildings, such as the furniture and stained glass.
