Frank Lloyd Wright Series: Prairie Style Stained Glass

Frank Lloyd Wright Stained Glass

Continuing with our Frank Lloyd Wright Series, the above photo is a fantastic Prairie style stained glass window located in Frank Lloyd Wright’s home in Oak Park, Illinois.  FLW loved to not only design structures, but also what went inside as well.  This window is no exception.  Don’t you just love this incredible piece of art from at least 100 years ago?  Simply stunning!

    that looks like something from the future. kind of like circuitry or something you would see as a display.

      That is a very interesting observation, Tony! This particular design is one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s ‘signature’ patterns. It is mind-boggling to think he was at least 100 years ahead of his time!! I love your description; thank you! Cher xo

    Beautiful work by this man, as always. The glass reminds me of a printed circuit board too.

        Oh me too! He was so incredibly ahead of his time, wasn’t he?

    That is beautiful! For me, stained glass reminds me of the Church I attended when I was a little girl.
