Lake Geneva Abstract Tulip Stained Glass by Frank Lloyd Wright 10H

Lake Geneva Inn Tulip Stained Glass: A Flower from an Unbuilt Inn

Some of Frank Lloyd Wright's loveliest ideas never left the drawing board. This tulip was meant for an inn in Wisconsin that was never built. This Lake Geneva Inn tulip stained glass panel preserves it in glass. Earthy brown tones shape the petals.

Wright designed the tulip for the Lake Geneva Inn in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. The inn was never built. Only the design survives. This Frank Lloyd Wright unbuilt inn project lives on in glass.

Wright refined the petals to their geometric foundation. The soothing, earthy brown tones keep the design calm and grounded. It is a rare Frank Lloyd Wright tulip design.

A Tulip Reduced to Its Bones

Wright rarely copied a flower as a botanist would. This Frank Lloyd Wright tulip design shows how he distilled a bloom into line and balance. The result feels natural and architectural at once.

Frank Lloyd Wright art glass like this reflects the Prairie ideal that ornament should grow from its setting. See more designs in our Frank Lloyd Wright stained glass collection.
