For Comfort and Harmony
The Center's interior reflects the design principles of Frank Lloyd Wright. A lifelong learner and innovative designer, Wright was dedicated to creating total living and learning environments. The simplicity and harmony of the furnishings help create an atmosphere focused on creative, collaborative learning.
The natural elegance of the Arts and Crafts era harmonizes with Wright's design principles and is evidenced throughout the Fluno Center by quality craftsmanship and a décor that combines prairie style furnishings and original lithographs of designs by Frank Lloyd Wright himself.
