Unity Temple Geometric Brown Tan with Stand Stained Glass by Frank Lloyd Wright 10H

Unity Temple Skylight Stained Glass: Nine Squares in Brown and Tan

Frank Lloyd Wright designed this geometric pattern for a skylight at Unity Temple. This Unity Temple skylight stained glass has three squares across and three down. Each holds four smaller squares in brown, orange brown, and tan.

The colors grow from light brown to robust red and dark brown. The effect is rhythmic and abstract. It recalls old world America meeting the geometry of the twentieth century.

Unity Temple stands in Oak Park, Illinois. The congregation commissioned Wright to design it in 1905. Daylight enters through art glass, which gives the room a calm, amber glow. A Frank Lloyd Wright Unity Temple design carries real architectural weight.

Squares Within Squares

Wright designed more than 4,000 leaded glass windows and doors for over 150 of his buildings. The Unity Temple geometric stained glass designs show his love of order at its clearest. This Unity Temple geometric stained glass pattern never feels busy. Repetition gives the pattern its calm. That calm is the charm of Unity Temple skylight stained glass.

This Frank Lloyd Wright Unity Temple design pairs well with others in our Frank Lloyd Wright stained glass collection. Frank Lloyd Wright art glass in earth tones suits quiet rooms.

Frank Lloyd Wright in Brief

Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) was born in Wisconsin and trained under Louis Sullivan in Chicago. In his Oak Park studio he developed the Prairie style, with low horizontal lines and open interiors. He designed buildings as whole environments, down to the furniture, textiles, and art glass. He created well over 4,000 leaded glass windows and doors, which he called light screens. His later work includes Fallingwater and the Guggenheim Museum, and his influence reaches far beyond architecture.
