Modgy Frank Lloyd Wright Waterlilies Origami Lantern

FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT WATERLILIES

The delicate stylized glass design of waterlilies, common in the tranquil ponds of the Midwest, is adapted from Frank Lloyd Wright’s drawing Waterlilies, which is thought to be designed for an art glass screen in 1895 but never produced. This early example epitomizes Wright’s ability to incorporate themes from nature into his geometric designs and exemplifies his philosophy of “organic architecture” –creating harmony between elements of the natural world and man-made designs.
