Frank Cage
Inspired by the venerable architect Frank Lloyd Wright's stained glass window designs. The Frank Cage draws influence from the Saguaro Forms and Tree of Life designs.
The Saguaro Forms design was originally made for the a 1928 cover of Liberty Magazine. Wright had been commissioned to make a series of 12 illustrations for the magazines monthly issues but upon submission of the works the magazine's editor rejected the designs as "too radical" to be used as cover art. Still, he held onto the design and used it for the cover of a series of lectures in 1930. After a fire at the Arizona Biltmore in 1973, the Saguaro Forms design was chosen from the archives to be and rendered into stained glass as a part of the Biltmore reconstruction.
The Tree of Life design was made for the bedrooms of the Darwin D. Martin House in Buffalo, New York. The house was built between 1903 and 1905 and featured a vast array of stained glass centering on angular, geometric forms.
