You’re running out of time to find the perfect gift for those architecture buffs in your life, so may we suggest you haul it down to the Chicago Architecture Foundation shop, where you can pick up the ladies in your life some prim earrings adapted from the art glass design in Frank Lloyd Wright‘s Frank Thomas House, built in Oak Park in 1901. They’re only $27.95. The shop also has a great selection of Wright-inspired coasters detailed with the metal ornamentation found in some of the architect’s Chicagoland houses. The coasters run for $45. And for the… erm, eccentric in your family, how about a foot-tall, hand-crafted stone bust of Mies van der Rohe for $85? Tell me that sucker won’t be a conversation starter…
