Robie House Stained Glass with Stand: A Diamond Pattern in Quiet Color

Frank Lloyd Wright drew this linear diamond pattern for the Frederick C. Robie House. This Robie House stained glass with stand shows the design in muted green, purple, and blue. It is soothing and rhythmic, never fussy.

The Robie House stands on the University of Chicago campus. Wright designed it between 1909 and 1910 as a landmark of the Prairie style. Its low, horizontal lines echo the flat Midwestern horizon.

Wright used art glass to bring daylight into the rooms. The Robie House diamond pattern shows his gift for ornament that stays quiet.

A Frank Lloyd Wright Light Screen

Wright called his windows light screens, a term that recalls Japanese shoji screens. They filtered daylight and shaped the room around them. This Frank Lloyd Wright light screen carries that idea into a panel you can set on a desk.

This Robie House stained glass with stand makes a fine desk companion. Prairie style stained glass favors geometry over pictures. Find related designs in our Frank Lloyd Wright stained glass collection.
