	Johnson Wax Headquarters - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Johnson Wax Headquarters (1936-1939), the world headquarters and administration building of the SC Johnson Wax Company in Racine, Wisconsin was designed by American architect, Frank Lloyd Wright, for the company's president, Herbert F. "Hib" Johnson.
		Herbert Johnson, needing a new chair design, purportedly asked Wright to sit in one of the three-legged chairs and, after Wright fell from the chair, the architect designed new chairs for Johnson Wax with four legs; these chairs, and the other office furniture designed by Wright, are still used.
		The Johnson Wax buildings are on the National Register of Historic Places, and the Administration Building and the Research Tower were each chosen by the American Institute of Architects as two of seventeen buildings by the architect to be retained as examples of his contribution to American culture.

		NEW YORK: Frank Lloyd Wright is remembered as America's most acclaimed architect and iconic designer, but many of his most famous buildings seem unable to withstand the stresses of time.
		Wright, who died in 1959 at 92, was one of the world's most prolific architects, designing homes, churches and office buildings like the Johnson Wax headquarters in Racine, Wisconsin, as well as public spaces including the famed white spiral of the Guggenheim Museum in New York.
		But in keeping with his concept of "organic architecture," Wright's buildings are typically low-lying, with clean, horizontal lines blending into their natural surroundings.
