Timothy E. Eaton, ed., Frank Lloyd Wright, The Seat of Genius, Chairs: 1895-1955, 1997, p.34, 1905 views of the Heath House living room featuring the model in situ.
The simple yet powerful form of the Heath house armchair relates closely to the sculptural model introduced two years earlier in the Susan Lawrence Dana House (Springfield, Illinois, circa 1903), one of Wright's largest and most important early houses. The chair features a broad central slat flanked on either side by a narrow slat both across the back and under each arm, and is widely referred to as Wright's interpretation of an 'easy' chair.
