弗兰克·劳埃德·赖特是一位美国建筑师，他为自己的住宅设计了这座几何形状的Taliesin 1扶手椅。在设计之后的28年，椅子才第一次投入生产。

赖特在1949年为他在西塔里埃森（Taliesin West）家中的起居室和亚利桑那州的事务所设计了这把椅子，他一直都居住在西塔里埃森，直到1959年逝世。

这件作品直到20世纪80年代末才开始大规模生产，意大利家具品牌Cassina发布了第一个版本，但在1990年后不久，这件作品因为“太前卫”而停产。

然而Taliesin 1扶手椅在Cassina品牌与弗兰克·劳埃德·赖特基金会的合作之下，得以重新发行，并回到市场。

这把椅子以原来的山毛榉胶合板形式出售，配上樱桃木单板，既有天然的颜色，也有黑橡木色彩。

Frank Lloyd Wright's geometric Taliesin 1 armchair, which the American architect designed for his own home, is in production for the first time in 28 years.
Lloyd Wright designed the chair in 1949 for the living room of his Taliesin West home and studio in Arizona, where he lived until his death in 1959.
The piece wasn't mass produced until the late 1980s, when Italian furniture brand Cassina first released a version of it, but was discontinued shortly after in 1990 for being "too avant-garde".
However the Taliesin 1 armchair is finally back on the market, reissued by Cassina in partnership with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation.
The chair is on sale in its original beech plywood form with a cherry wood veneer, which can be left natural or stained in black oak.

尽管劳埃德·赖特以“有机”建筑而闻名于世，但他在早期职业生涯中也设计了许多家具。

Taliesin 1椅子借鉴了劳埃德·赖特的现代主义建筑风格，椅子拥有复杂的结构，保证了它的稳固性。这把椅子由一片折叠的胶合板制成，形成具有独特的“木制折纸”形状。

Although he is mostly renowned for his "organic" architecture, Lloyd Wright created numerous furniture designs in the early part of his career.
The complex angled structure of Taliesin 1, which ensures its stability, draws on his modernist architectural style. Constructed from a single piece of folded plywood, the chair has a characteristic "wooden origami" shape.

设计师对椅子进行了更新，最新版本的椅子靠背更倾斜，皮革或织物软垫更厚了。

原来的椅子前脚被移除，简化了椅子的几何线条，更加彰显出椅子的折叠性能。

但是，为了保持劳埃德·赖特的原有设计，椅子的木质边缘仍然保留可见的痕迹。

为祝贺这款椅子的推出，Cassina品牌还推出了更具现代感的限量版系列。450个限量版的椅子有紫红色、汽油绿和深蓝色三种版本。

限量版的椅子也由山毛榉胶合板组成，这些彩色版本的油漆颜色和软垫短毛皮革拥有相同的色彩。

In its latest iteration, the chair is updated with a slightly more reclined backrest and thicker padding, upholstered in leather or fabric.
The original front feet have been removed to simplify the lines of the chair's geometrical body, placing more emphasis on its folds.
But, in keeping with Lloyd Wright's design, the chair's wooden edges are deliberately left visible.
To celebrate the launch, Cassina has also launched a limited-edition series with a more contemporary spin. This run of 450 chairs features three colours: burgundy, petrol green and dark blue.
Also made from beech plywood, these coloured editions are matt lacquered and upholstered in short-hair leather in the same shade as the lacquer.
A limited-edition series of the chair is available, upholstered in short-hair leather

去年是弗兰克·劳埃德·赖特诞辰150周年，该项目更加激发了人们对这位美国建筑师的怀念。

他的1911 Taliesin 4木台灯于2015年由Yamagiwa照明公司在周年纪念日之前发布，同时，瑞典品牌Offecct重新设计了赖特的Ennis House的瓷砖，以呼应其诞辰纪念。

Last year marked the 150th anniversary of Frank Lloyd Wright's birthday, sparking a renewed interest in the American architect.
His 1911 Taliesin 4 wooden table lamp was released in 2015 by lighting brand Yamagiwa, ahead of the anniversary, while Swedish brand Offecct recreated the tiles of his historic Ennis House to coincide with the anniversary year.
