	Date: 1986 Title: Frank Lloyd Wright, The Cassina/ai Masters Program (Published by Atelier International, Ltd., Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, Washington DC) Author: Cassina/ai Description: The Cassina/ai Masters Program. In 1971, representatives from Cassina/Milan visited Taliesin West. The purpose of their visit was to ask for a license to manufacture the furniture designed by Wright. The effort came to naught. Fifteen years after that first visit (1986), the story took a different turn. The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation felt the time as right and contacted Atelier International, Cassina’s exclusive distributor. They manufactured over thirty prototypes. On December 16, 1985 they were presented. On June 4, 1986 the collection was launched. In October 1986 ai presented the first seven pieces. They included: 601 Robie High Back Chair; 602 Midway Wood Chair; 603 Midway Steel Chair; 604 Midway Steel Table; 605 Allen Dining Room Table; 606 Wingspread Barrel Chair; 607 Taliesin Armchair. Includes 12 photographs and 12 illustrations. Gift from Randolph C. Henning. (First Edition) Size: 8.9 x 12 Pages: Pp 16 ST#: 1986.32.0709
