Frank Lloyd Wright created this easy chair for a house he designed in Peoria, Illinois. Wright's client, Francis W. Little, became his close friend and financial supporter. A decade later, Wright built a second home for Little, overlooking Lake Minnetonka in Deephaven, Minnesota; the hallway from that house is displayed in the Ulrich Gallery of Architecture and Design at The Minneapolis Institute of Arts.
