Jon Sherman, founder and creative director of Brooklyn-based Flavor Paper, the wallpaper company, discussed his method of creating his company in the spirit of Frank Lloyd Wright’s architectural approach in an August 24 event. In a discussion held at the Frank Lloyd Wright Darwin Martin House Complex in Buffalo, NY, Sherman discussed his hand-screened and digital production methods, as well as similarities with Wright: Specifically, how both Flavor Paper and Wright both overcame many societal perceptions and share obsessions with detail, symmetry and customization.
