Our
decision to select Copeland Furniture as the new Frank Lloyd Wright
Foundation exclusive furniture licensee was made for several reasons:
their high quality of product, their willingness to expand the
furniture selection to include complete collections, and their
effort to achieve price points allowing all generations to own
Mr. Wright’s furniture designs.” -
Doug Volker, Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation.
Each piece in the Frank Lloyd Wright Furniture® by Copeland collection
exhibits the artistic authority and superior quality that comes
with masterful design and true craftsmanship. Experienced wood
artisans apply traditional and state-of-the-art techniques that
announce and preserve the wood’s natural beauty while adding
strength and durability to the overall piece.

Select
solid hardwoods: Frank
Lloyd Wright Furniture® by Copeland starts with solid hardwood
(Cherry and White Oak) from The Northern Forests. The White
Oak is quartersawn to reveal a ray-fleck in the grain. This
time-consuming process is essential to obtaining distinctive
wood characteristics and adds stability. |
 |
Miter-Wrap
construction: In Wright’s day, craftsmen
achieved the bold, sturdy tabletops of thick-cut hardwood
with woodworking techniques that are all but forgotten.
Copeland has revived miter-wrap construction for tabletops
that present 2 inches or more at the edge – enabling
the wood grain from the top to continue over ends and sides. |
 |
English
Dovetails: Asymmetrical
English dovetails form perfect, rigid fits for drawer and
case pieces. Copeland makes these intricate cuts utilizing
precise, computer-programmed machining. |
 |
Superior
Drawer Construction: Drawers, with sides of solid
ash and bottoms of birch plywood, are all fully finished.
They are mounted on three ‘wood-on-wood’ slides – one
on each side and at the center - and are fitted with drawer
stops. Copeland also dovetails drawer dividers - rare in
furniture today. |
 |
Durable,
hand wiped finishes: Labor intensive hand-rubbing
incorporates stain pigments and highlights grain definition
in each piece. Copeland Furniture uses only catalyzed lacquer
finishes that meet the Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers Association’s
high standards. They withstand tough stains and age beautifully. |
High Quality Upholstery: Upholstered
Frank Lloyd Wright Furniture® by Copeland will enhance any interior
palette. Copeland Furniture offers an extensive selection of fabrics
and leathers or will use customer-supplied material.
Careful drying, machining, and preparation: Key
to the longevity of any furniture piece is the preparation of wood
pieces and the science of joinery. Copeland Furniture combines precision planed
glue surfaces, calibrated hydraulic pressure, and radio frequency-assisted
curing to ensure consistently superior, enduring glue joints.
Superior Case Construction: As
with all Copeland Furniture case pieces, drawer dividers - front
and rear, are dovetailed in to the case side for a more rigid frame.
Dust covers and case backs are made of 100% hardwood plywood. Case
backs are fully finished.
Positive mechanical bed fittings: Bed
rails are an inch thick and 10 inches wide. They are bolted to
the headboard and footboard with positive mechanical fasteners
that are only visible from the inside of the bed.
Frank Lloyd Wright Furniture® by Copeland is available in Parkton
Oak (17),
Madison Oak (27), Parkton Cherry (13) or Natural Cherry (03) finishes.
