A Milwaukee wood worker builds furniture from lost Frank Lloyd Wright designs.

On view now at the Museum of Wisconsin Art, Frank Lloyd Wright: Modern Chair Design. The exhibition features the furniture of the legendary architect. The show has chairs and tables from various Frank Lloyd Wright archives and new pieces created from lost or unused designs.

Brent Budsberg was one of the artists tapped to create a selection of pieces from those designs. Brent, along with his wife, Shanna McCaw run Current Projects. Current projects is a design and fabrication studio based in Milwaukee's Riverwest neighborhood. They specialize in art exhibition design and construction.

"I felt very honored and it's a real privilege to bring these things to life," Budsberg says. Brent and the team at Current Projects created a table and chair based on a lost set from Frank Lloyd Wright's famed home and studio, Taliesin. 

The Tree Room table and chair, as they are come to be called, look like something from modern times. They are understated and sleek. Modular and innovative. They are a timeless design from one of the greats and faithfully recreated from Budsberg and his colleagues.
