Notes:
Thomas A. Heinz is considered the leading scholar on visionary American architect Frank Lloyd Wright, notably devoting attention to the study of Wright's furniture and interiors. In the 1970s Heinz began creating faithful reproductions of Wright’s designs using the original drawings and plans, first through his own company, Heinz & Co., and then eventually through Bexley Heath Ltd.
