Frank Lloyd Wright’s archival chair designs have been realized for the first time.
Frank Lloyd Wright’s unrealized chair designs are being produced for the first time in a new exhibition at the Museum of Wisconsin Art. Working with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation and a team of artisans, the museum has recreated more than a dozen pieces, including aluminum café chairs originally conceived for the Guggenheim and the origami armchair Wright designed in the 1940s. The show surveys 40 works across five decades, tracing how Wright used furniture to test ideas about architecture and organic design. By foregrounding chairs that had long remained drawings in the archive, the exhibition positions Wright’s lesser-known furniture within a broader history of modern design.
Post-MoMA, Glenn Lowry will focus on developing arts programming in the Middle East.
After closing a three-decade chapter at MoMA, Glenn Lowry has begun charting his next moves with a focus on arts institutions abroad. He will advise the Islamic Arts Biennale in Jeddah and the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art in Delhi, while spending more time developing projects across the Gulf. Lowry emphasized that the region’s cultural landscape operates under different systems of patronage but carries a comparable sense of ambition to America’s art scene a century ago. He will also continue to shape discourse globally, including a forthcoming lecture series at the Louvre and new work with Alice Walton’s Art Bridges Foundation.

The 2026 editions of Stockholm Furniture Fair and Stockholm Design Week have been cancelled.
The Stockholm Furniture Fair and Stockholm Design Week will not take place in 2026, with organizers shifting both events to a biennial schedule beginning in 2027. The fair, which had been set to celebrate its 75th anniversary next year, will relaunch with a renewed focus on aligning with global trade calendars and industry cycles. Stockholmsmässan, the city-owned body that runs the events, cited financial pressures and the need to concentrate resources as reasons for the change. The new format aims to strengthen the platform for sustainability, innovation, and long-term industry growth.
Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez have made their highly-anticipated debuts at Loewe.
Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez debuted their first collection for Loewe at Paris Fashion Week, marking a new chapter for the Spanish house after Jonathan Anderson’s long tenure. Their Spring/Summer 2026 show leaned into the brand’s heritage while reinterpreting it with bold structural shapes and saturated primary colors. Striped dresses, sculptural tailoring, and references to Ellsworth Kelly’s work set the tone for their approach. The presentation signaled how the designers plan to merge Loewe’s 180-year history with their own perspective shaped at Proenza Schouler.
