Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) is recognized world-wide as one of the greatest architects of the twentieth century. His work heralded a new thinking in architecture, using innovation in design and engineering made possible by newly developed technology and materials. His creative ability extended far beyond the border of architecture to graphic design, furniture, art glass, textiles, and decorative elements for the home.
Frank Lloyd Wright designed numerous art glass windows, skylights, and laylights for the Darwin D. Martin House, some of which are artificially illuminated from behind. Both in the daylight and at night, their reflective and translucent properties are particularly evident in the horizontal ceiling planes. They seem to de-materialize as light penetrates the envelope of the house. The square and rectangular art glass patterns mirror the geometry of the modular floor plan of the house, as is represented in this product design.
