This \u003cstrong\u003ePier Cluster laylight stained glass\u003c\/strong\u003e panel brings that overhead glow down to eye level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe initials D.D.M. refer to \u003cstrong\u003eDarwin D. Martin\u003c\/strong\u003e, the Buffalo executive for whom Wright designed a great house complex between 1903 and 1905. Wright later called the commission his opus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNearly 400 art glass windows were made for the complex, in fifteen distinct patterns. The \u003cstrong\u003eMartin House\u003c\/strong\u003e laylight designs belong to this larger family of glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLight from Above, Order Within\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWright used laylights to draw daylight into the heart of a room. Their patterns are quiet and orderly, never fussy. Each Frank Lloyd Wright laylight turns plain light into a measured composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Martin House laylight shares this discipline. This design shows Prairie style stained glass at its most architectural.
