The Unity Temple was the first major public building that Wright designed. Wright began the design in 1905 shortly after the original Unity Church burned down. The Unity Temple was finally completed in 1908, about two years later after the expected finish date. The design of this building is considered to be the one that laid the groundwork for modern buildings. It has a cubist design.

The Organic Chair was first designed in 1940 by Eero Saarinen and Charles Eames. They entered the chair in a competition in Organic Design in Home Furnishings which was organized by the Museum of Modern Art. The chairs won, but never went into production because of World War II. However, following the designer&#039;s specifications, in 2007 Vitra introduced the chairs at the Milan Furniture Fair.
