Steelcase proudly partnered with Wright in the late 1930s and continues to be inspired by his timeless architectural and furniture designs.<\/p>\n<h3>Johnson Wax Headquarters<\/h3>\n<p>David D. Hunting Sr., a Steelcase salesman and later a member of senior management, met Frank Lloyd Wright when Wright was working on the <a href=\"http:\/\/franklloydwright.org\/site\/s-c-johnson-administrative-complex\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">S.C. Johnson Wax Company headquarters<\/a> in Racine, Wisconsin in the late 1930s. Their relationship lasted for years after their first meeting. Wright talked to Hunting about how he wanted the furniture in the space to fit the environment. He took a holistic approach to create a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.steelcase.com\/research\/articles\/topics\/innovation\/rethinking-think\/\">timeless design<\/a>. The Metal Office Furniture Company, which would later become Steelcase, ended up engineering and manufacturing all of Wright\u2019s furniture designs for the Johnson Wax building.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"print-only\" src=\"https:\/\/images.steelcase.com\/image\/upload\/c_fill,dpr_auto,q_70,h_656,w_1166\/v1498491844\/www.steelcase.com\/2017\/06\/26\/17-0083537.jpg\" \/><div class=\"slick-slider light-slider not-initialized mosaic-slider\" data-type=\"module\">\n\t\t<div class=\"first-slide\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"panel-content\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mosaic-right mosaic-standard\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cover-image-fixed content\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"cover-image has-ppp\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"flex-image extend-right\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/images.steelcase.com\/image\/upload\/c_fill,q_auto,f_auto,h_492,w_875\/v1498491844\/www.steelcase.com\/2017\/06\/26\/17-0083537.jpg);\"role=\"img\" aria-label=\"S.C.
