Special Limited Model
HOMAGE TO FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT

Celebrating the 150th anniversary of Wright’s birth in 2017, YAMAGIWA started a collaboration
with acclaimed architects and designers to rebuilt new TALIESIN® to preserve his legacy to the future.

“For this project, I took on the challenge of creating a work that enables viewers
to physically experience the power of TALIESIN® 2 and the sense of presence that trees exude,
presenting Wright’s work with a modern expression by changing the materials.
Compared to Wright’s TALIESIN® 2, which comprises a continuous cascade of shades
and light-shielding plates, I devised a configuration comprising three types of polyhedra.” ― Toyo Ito
