Smart Museum of Art

This guide to the Smart Museum of Art in Chicago starts with a question: why would an architect design dining chairs to wall his clients off from their own living room? It follows Frank Lloyd Wright's 1908 design of the Robie House, where he insisted on controlling every detail down to the dining set now held in the museum's collection. Look for the four lamp posts with their wheat-patterned glass, echoing the windows upstairs at Robie House.
