	title of this thread your message an inclusive collection. . .were you able to present an example of each of these designs? (I'm not sure how many of Wright's Larkin chairs survive.) I'm particularly fond of Mackintosh's chairs and other pieces, and of Hoffman's. (I should think Stickley might belong in there somewhere -- those massive and masterfully simple settees with the wide, plain planks, for instance.) Thanks for the list -- some of those I'll have to seek out. If I had to present examples of "furnitecture" by architects and other designers, I suppose I'd start with some of Wright's earlier pieces: a startling table-couch-desk-lamp construction of 1909 (claimed as hers by Marion Mahony) and, later, the gigantic living-room piece(s) for the Barnsdall residence: then to Schindler and some of his large living-room combos from the 'thirties. It's hard to avoid thinking of tables as architectural prototypes or analogues. . .of course, there are multiple ways of connecting furniture to architecture (including literally, as built-ins), as my multiple definitions (some of them tounge-in-cheek) suggest. . . associated web images (optional) associated web link (optional) your email your password create a forums account \| you forgot your password?
