Brizo’s New Collection Is a Stylish Nod to Frank Lloyd Wright

While his contemporaries were still mostly stuck in neoclassicism, Frank Lloyd Wright was pioneering a clean-lined, "organic" style of architecture—characterized by simplicity of form, free-flowing interiors, and total affinity with setting—that ushered in modernism and remains as rapturously significant today as it was at the turn of the century. 

Case in point: When fittings brand Brizo decided to expand its offerings with a new bath collection inspired by the natural world, the brand called upon who else but the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation to collaborate. "Integrity of materials and harmony with nature are the core of Wright’s design ethos," says Stuart Graff, president and CEO of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation.

Brizo relied on the same philosophy to create its Wright-influenced faucets, tub fillers, shower components, and accessories, in which graceful lines and contrasting materials combine to make a statement by virtue of their simplicity. "Wright had a saying that went something like: ‘One should strive for the elimination of the insignificant until only the significant remains,’" says Judd Lord, Senior Director of Industrial Design at Brizo. "We took the same approach."
