Frank Lloyd Wright Inspired Marquetry
I've often wondered how the Prairie Style and spirit of Frank Lloyd Wright would manifest in marquetry. Now I have a good idea - kd


"Wisdom Furniture’s geometric marquetry designs are inspired in part by the art-glass windows of Frank Lloyd Wright and other Prairie-style architects and give our work a unique aesthetic quality."

Wisdom Furniture's Marquetry 
"Marquetry is the art of creating patterns or images by laying out pieces of veneer. It has been used to create fine furniture and artwork since the early 16th century. Wisdom Furniture’s use of marquetry enables us to minimize waste by joining small pieces of veneer to create large intricately patterned surfaces.
Our skilled craftsman painstakingly cut and fit each piece of veneer by hand to create tight, smooth finished surfaces."
