Steelcase produced Wright\u2019s inspiring and practical furnishings for those workspaces, embodying his groundbreaking principles of organic architecture. Since 1985 we\u2019ve added to this shared heritage through our ongoing stewardship of Wright\u2019s Meyer May House in Grand Rapids, Michigan. With years of meticulous research and repair, the house has been returned to its original 1909 design \u2014 one of the most complete restorations of a Wright Prairie style residence in the world.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_742302\" aria-labelledby=\"figcaption_attachment_742302\" class=\"wp-image wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"width: 1024px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-742302 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/images.steelcase.com\/image\/upload\/c_limit,dpr_auto,q_70,h_1024,w_1024\/v1654111568\/22-0177520_16x9-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" \/><figcaption id=\"figcaption_attachment_742302\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Through scale and materiality, the Frank Lloyd Wright Racine Collection reinterprets the furniture for how we live and work today.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Now, we\u2019re looking ahead to continue Wright\u2019s legacy through an expansive new relationship with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation.

As we <strong>revisit<\/strong>, <strong>reintroduce<\/strong>, <strong>and reinterpret<\/strong> Wright\u2019s work for the world he envisioned, we believe there\u2019s never been a more meaningful time to draw from a master who was always ahead of his time.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"pull-quote pull-quote-center \"><p>\u201cThe present is the ever moving shadow that divides yesterday from tomorrow.
