Fallingwater

Fallingwater is presented as a national treasure and UNESCO World Heritage Site, emphasizing its status as a total work of art. The book offers an exciting new look at the masterpiece, highlighting Frank Lloyd Wright’s design for Edgar Kaufmann Sr. and his wife, Liliane Kaufmann. The residence embodies harmony with the natural world, with rooms that reflect a natural aesthetic through stone, wood, handwork, and craftsmanship. In the living room, a stone floor flows toward built-in sofas and large-paned casement windows, offering views of balconies, forest, and cascading falls. The atmosphere is relaxed yet elegant, with delicacy and tactility permeating the spaces, creating an organic setting for the Kaufmanns’ collection of objects, paintings, textiles, sculpture, and crafted products. More than the sum of its parts, Fallingwater is art in its own right.

This monograph, authored by Justin Gunther, Scott W. Perkins, and Dave Bryce, was published by Rizzoli on 1 April 2025. It comprises 280 pages and is issued in hardcover, as a first edition.

The book foregrounds how Fallingwater’s architecture integrates with nature and how the interiors showcase a curated array of objects and crafts that enrich the rooms across its multiple layers.
