Our Favorite Home Goods from Amazon’s New Frank Lloyd Wright Shop

Falling Water may be one of the most famous homes in the world and its designer one of America’s most prolific and beloved architects. Frank Lloyd Wright designed over 1,000 structures during his more than 70-year career, but he didn’t just design buildings. Wright oversaw every detail of his edifices, right down to the windows, creating custom designs for each project.

Now, the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation has announced a new initiative to remind people of Wright’s other side. Partnering with various artists, the Wright Foundation has granted licensing to certain companies to allow for the creation of a line of products that feature the architect’s iconic patterns.

What to Buy from Amazon’s Frank Lloyd Wright Shop

While his intricate art glass window patterns get all of the attention, Wright also designed a patented set of Luxfer Prisms for the American Luxfer Prism Company. This unique pattern can be seen in the bronze frame of the clock as well as in silhouette on the off-white face.

The most famous pattern of art glass Wright ever created, the Tree of Life, was designed for the home of Wright’s friend and client Darwin D. Martin. The simple geometric form is a timeless look that creates a stylish welcome mat for your visitors.

Don’t let the name fool you, this isn’t a mailbox inspired by beach decor. The inspiration comes from the gable-roofed Peter A. Beachy House, remodeled by Wright in 1905. The powder-coated steel mailbox has a trim pattern reminiscent of the custom windows that can be seen on the second floor of Beachy House. Who knew so much style could go into something as simple as a mailbox?

Frank Lloyd Wright Beth Shalom Globe

Frank Lloyd Wright is best known for his home designs, but the architect worked on countless public buildings as well. The Beth Shalom Temple in Pennsylvania is known for its pyramidal shape. Wright created custom pyramidal planters for the inside of the temple and it is this design that inspired the base of this illuminated desktop globe.

If you’ve invested in good quality furniture, you know coasters are a must. Nothing is more frustrating than those unsightly water rings. Coasters typically aren’t a “high style” item, but this set of four inspired by Wright’s famous art glass windows puts a classy twist on a common item.

While we love the look of a clean, unadorned table, these placemats are hard to pass up. Inspired by an art glass concept created by Wright but never used in one of his homes, the simple monochromatic colors, with just a small pop of orange, make a great addition to any style table.

KAF Home Frank Lloyd Wright Printed Throw Pillow Cover

Saguaro Forms and Cactus Flowers is one of Wright’s most popular patterns, despite the fact that it was rejected for use by Liberty Magazine. The complex and brightly colored Saguaro was reimagined for these 20 x 20″ throw pillow covers, creating a contemporary twist on an iconic design.

While these are our seven favorite products from the new line, they are far from the only Wright-inspired pieces you can get. The new collection also includes everything from house numbers to luggage tags and even socks. Proceeds from every purchase go towards the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation and their continued efforts to preserve the legacy of America’s favorite architect.

And if you still can’t get enough of FLW, check out some of his houses that recently went up for sale.

Jeremy Allen White in Deliver Me From Nowhere

Music biopics are all the rage these days, and Bruce Springsteen is the latest icon to get the treatment. The first trailer for Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere sees The Bear star inhabiting the role of The Boss. The film is based on Warren's Zane's book of the same name, which focuses on the period when he was making his 1982 album Nebraska.

The film is directed by Scott Cooper, who also directed Jeff Bridges in Crazy Heart. In the trailer, we see White embodying Springsteen as he sings "Born to Run," and we also get a lengthy monologue from Jeremy Strong's Jon Landau as he explains why Springsteen feels the need to make this album.

Tony Soprano vs. Walter White: Who is the ultimate antihero?
TV's biggest heavyweights duke it out for the antihero crown
Breaking bad season 4 screen shot

Sports fans often debate between two heavyweight legends. For basketball, it's LeBron James and Michael Jordan. Switching to tennis, you have Roger Federer fans and Rafael Nadal diehards. Debates like these are ingrained in the culture of athletics, but TV fans have their own version of this sparring match.

Tony Soprano from The Sopranos and Walter White from Breaking Bad are the two characters who still send shockwaves through every drama in the 21st century. These men were the perfect mix of good and evil. They navigated family life and the criminal underworld with cunning intelligence and ruthless risk-taking. Every show with morally gray characters at the center owes its storyboard to Walter and Tony, but which character deserves the antihero crown? This is Tony Soprano vs. Walter White for all the marbles.
Who was the more complex character?

Learn how to smoke a pipe the proper way with our guide for beginners
Let us show you the classy way to smoke a pipe
Packing a pipe

Pipe smoking is the most aesthetically distinguished way to enjoy tobacco, but you lose the classy effect if you don’t know how to smoke a pipe properly. Smoking a pipe has become a lost art, and these days, most people who engage in pipe smoking do so to achieve a sense of nostalgia. Perhaps your grandfather enjoyed a puff now and again paired with a good stiff whiskey, or maybe your goal is to emulate a pipe-smoking artist.

I know that I enjoy a good puff on a pipe now and then, and knowing the right way to enjoy a pipe has made the experience much more pleasurable for for me. Whatever the case, if you intend to take up the time-honored tradition of unwinding with a pipe like me, you should learn how to smoke a pipe the right way. And smoking a pipe is very different than smoking a cigar (except you shouldn't be inhaling either).
