Over the course of a career spent largely in Los Angeles, John Lautner captured the essence of southern California in more than 150 distinctive structures. Trained by Frank Lloyd Wright, Lautner is best known for his private commissions such as the Elrod Residence in Palm Springs, featured in the James Bond movie Diamonds are Forever, and Los Angeles’s iconic ‘Chemosphere’.
