Licensing

Frank Lloyd Wright licensed products are desired by people who appreciate great design and refined style.

In 1955, Frank Lloyd Wright began to license his work to make his designs more broadly available, rather than restricted to clients of his practice. For this project, Wright created 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 program encompasses more than one thousand primary design references, accompanied by the most iconic name in architecture and design.

Licensed products are available for purchase in the Frank Lloyd Wright Store at Taliesin West, online by visiting our shop and at independent and national retailers.
