Introduction

The iconic TALIESIN® lighting series, originally designed by the renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright, has welcomed a new addition: the TALIESIN® White. This latest model is not just a mere replication but a thoughtful reinterpretation that brings a fresh aesthetic to Wright’s timeless designs.

Background

Frank Lloyd Wright, who was born in Wisconsin in 1867, is celebrated as one of the pillars of modern architecture. Together with luminaries like Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe, Wright forged a new path in architectural design with his innovative approach and unique vision. He has over 1,100 designs to his name, with around 400 of those coming to fruition. His influence extended to Japan, where he contributed significantly to the development of modern architecture.

The TALIESIN® Series

In collaboration with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, YAMAGIWA is privileged as the only brand authorized to reproduce Wright's lighting fixtures. Since its debut in 1994, the TALIESIN® series has continued to enchant audiences with its geometric designs and the soft ambient light that it generates. The distinctive layering of blocks in its structure creates beautiful shadows, making it a beloved choice for those who appreciate architectural beauty.

Introducing TALIESIN® White

The new TALIESIN® White is crafted from chestnut wood and features a pristine white finish. By harmoniously blending the wood's natural grain with a unified white aesthetic, the iconic sculptural silhouette becomes more pronounced and visually striking. This light is designed to suit a variety of interior styles, making it a versatile addition to any space.

Illumination Experience

When illuminated, the interplay of light and shadow created by the block structure is elegantly reflected off the white surface, enhancing the architectural allure that TALIESIN® is known for. Even when turned off, the piece stands out as a striking sculpture, introducing a fresh character to the TALIESIN® series.
