Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) amazed the world with his visionary architectural designs. Early on, he defined the principles of what he called "organic architecture." Appropriate to time, place and man, an organic architecture "proceeds, persists, creates according to the nature of man and his circumstances as they both change."
Believing the architect should create total environments, Mr. Wright's
designs included art glass windows, furniture and lighting. These tiles
are adapted from a watercolor of a tapestry rug design planned for the
Avery Coonley House. Designed between 1906 and 1908, the rug was never
executed.
The bulb-glazing team works with surgical precision to place little pools of glaze color into the tight spaces created by Mr. Wright's geometric design.
