The Tie Bar x Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation: Midway Gardens Collection

The Tie Bar is proud to announce a limited-edition collaboration with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, honoring one of the most influential architects of the 20th century.

Inspired by Wright’s landscape and architectural designs for Chicago’s famed Midway Gardens (1914), the collection launches March 26th and brings together timeless design and modern craftsmanship in a way that celebrates the city’s enduring creative legacy.

The exclusive Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation x The Tie Bar collection features a curated assortment of 10 silk ties and pocket squares that showcase Wright’s sculptural Sprites, stained-glass patterns, prairie motifs, and original architectural sketches. Matching tie bars and cufflinks (4 in total) complete the offering, creating a cohesive capsule designed for collectors and style enthusiasts alike. The palette draws from prairie wheat, terracotta, pine, and stone blue—grounded, architectural tones that translate seamlessly to today’s weddings, work events, and special occasions.

Michelle Kohanzo, President of The Tie Bar, says:

“Frank Lloyd Wright’s work is synonymous with innovation and enduring design. This collection allows our customers to wear a piece of architectural history—designs that are not only visually striking, but rich with cultural meaning.”

At the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, we believe Wright’s ideas still have the power to shape how we live, learn, and build today,” said Henry Hendrix, Chief Marketing Officer. “That’s what makes this collaboration with The Tie Bar so exciting. It brings the creativity of Midway Gardens to life in a fresh, wearable way—allowing people to experience Wright’s design legacy not just in buildings, but in the details of everyday life.

By translating Wright’s iconic Midway Gardens artwork into wearable accessories, the collection emphasizes the story behind each design and its lasting artistic significance. The pieces are intended to appeal to customers who value craftsmanship, heritage, and accessories that carry deeper creative resonance.

  • Ties: Crafted from 100% silk in The Tie Bar’s bestselling modern width; priced at $48.
  • Pocket Squares: Made from 100% printed silk; retail for $28.
  • Accessories: Coordinating tie bars and cufflinks complete the set.

Available exclusively online and in The Tie Bar’s Chicago flagship store (918 W Armitage) while supplies last, the collection blends architecture with personal style, underscoring The Tie Bar’s Chicago heritage while celebrating one of the city’s most important creative figures.
