This Frank Lloyd Wright Prairie style dining set is part of the new Wright collection at Seattle’s McKinnon Furniture. The table and chairs sell for about $15,000 and are based on a set at Wright’s 1906 Dana-Thomas House in Illinois.

McKinnon Furniture, a Seattle designer and manufacturer of hand-crafted solid wood furniture, has been awarded the Western Washington distribution rights for Frank Lloyd Wright Furniture.

The distribution agreement is offered through Copeland Furniture of Bradford, Vt., the sole licensee with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation to produce pieces based on Wright’s designs.

Available for pre-order, the initial collection will include furniture designed during Wright’s Prairie period from 1899 to 1910. Designs from the period are closely related to Mission, Arts and Crafts, and Bungalow styles.

The initial products include Wright’s Taliesen Barrel Chair, a full dining room set, upholstery, occasional tables and a bedroom group — about 20 pieces in all. For information, go to http://www.mckinnonfurniture.com.
