About Max Hoffman Rug Candle Holder - Frank Lloyd Wright

This beautiful Coonley Playhouse Candle features a pattern inspired in a rug designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for Max Hoffman's home. The house is far from just any suburban Westchester County abode. and it was built by Frank Lloyd Wright in the 1950s for Max Hoffman, an Austrian-born businessman who fled the Nazis to become the first importer and dealer of European luxury cars in the United States. The iconic house is located on the northern end of Manursing Island, in a gated community with 60 other private homes. There is also a wildlife sanctuary on the island, and Playland Amusement Park is nearby. The midcentury-style home was renovated in 1998, and it sits on 1.22 acres and includes five bedrooms and six bathrooms spread out over 5,700 square feet. Just recently, Wright's iconic Max Hoffman house was purchased by the fashion designer, Marc Jacobs, for $9.17 million dollars.

Wright

Frank Lloyd Wright is considered to be one of the most iconic American architects of all time. A pioneer in developing an architectural style that was organic, he designed structures that reflected humanity and its environment. Fallingwater, one of the most famous works of American architecture exemplifies this organic architecture. As a result, the weekend home has won numerous awards. The house elegantly integrates itself into the landscape, becoming part of the waterfall itself. Its cantilevered engineering was a brilliant addition as well. Therefore, it allowed him to deliver on the space requirements that the client was interested in. Wright’s innovation remains in many structures including offices, churches, schools, skyscrapers, hotels, and museums to name few. The architect's skills helped him designing various pieces of furniture as well as stained glass. In addition, Wright was also the author of numerous books and articles. He became a popular lecturer in the United States and in Europe as well. To this day, he remains the greatest American architect of all time.
