Generally Wrights' wardrobes were very utilitarian, just plain wood board doors, in runs and built-in, as shown below. So these designs take that idea but embellish them with a bit more design impact. The doors are still plain boards, but taking some of his Usonian style clerestory windows cut-out designs and incorporating them above the run of wardrobes, to add some visual impact. The photo of a bedroom in the Barnes house, below, clearly shows where this idea came from. The cut-out designs are backed by a white acrylic for maximum effect, but we could other colours for the backing. Back lighting the cut-outs would be a very typical Wright thing to do (he did this several times in bedroom) and provide good mood lighting and emphasisng the cut out designs. Like most Wright robes the doors are really very plain boards, available in a range of woods; he typically used Oak, Cypress & Mahogany for most of his robes, but we could use any you prefer. They are shown with a simple matching wooden hande per door, but we can use any handle you want.
The wardrobes can be built-in, which is the usual option these days and in keeping with Wright's preference, or freestanding. They can form a straight run, of any number of doors, or an L shape. You could have a 3 door either side of a door to an en-suite bathroom, for example. The interiors can be fitted anyway you want, with shelves, hanging rails, show racks, lighting, etc. Made to order. We don't discuss sizes or prices until we've agreed a specification with a customer.
