Frank Lloyd Wright believed that every person has “the right to live a beautiful life in beautiful circumstances.” To that end, he designed buildings that complement their natural surroundings and viewed architecture as a way to enrich the lives of the people within those buildings.

Wright’s approach, called “organic architecture,” also considered the interior details of any space. Accents like lighting, rugs, and even dinnerware all factored into the harmony of a Wright-designed home.

Patrick Hayes, founder of 1767, draws inspiration from Wright’s holistic method – especially his reverence for nature. “Frank Lloyd Wright was very mindful of the impact that his work had on the environment it was going into. In a similar way, our work is very mindful of the impact that it has on the world that we exist in,” says Patrick.

At 1767, this mindfulness is apparent in the reclaimed materials being used to create original artwork, as well as in our reliance on organic shapes and colors. The goal is to make art that complements, rather than contrasts, the space in which it lives.

In fact, complementary creation is how Patrick defines inspiration itself. Rather than trying to emulate something you find inspiring, Patrick explains, “to be inspired by something is to really just be charged by the energy that that piece of art or architecture radiates. You take that away with you and create something new.”

Which is why he gravitated to Wright’s work originally. “What’s really striking about some of the geometric work he did, leaded glass and stained glass work, is that it was such a departure from what people were doing at that time. He wasn’t afraid to try something new,” explains Patrick.  
1767 designs art and furniture to elevate the harmony of your space, as Wright described. Our goal is to contribute to your beautiful circumstances as you build your beautiful life.
