Author: Jennifer Golub
In the mid-century era of TV dinners and suburban conformity, Russel and Mary Wright were individualists. Their home Dragon Rock at Manitoga is situated on forested woodlands, sited at an abandoned quarry located an hour north of New York. This lavish volume is filled with personal histories and over one hundred stunning photographs, synthesising multiple archives and charting the innovation of their design practice, their lives, and the development of their Dragon Rock home.Although best known for American Modern dinnerware, the Wrights rejected rigid modernism for a life that invited ambiguity. Mary's role as a partner, designer, and entrepreneur is explored here for the first time.
