COONLEY II

AVERY COONLEY PLAYHOUSE

RIVERSIDE, ILLINOIS 1912

The design of many of the Frank Lloyd Wright's carpets is influenced by the rectilinear design on Greek vases. This carpet is a good example of this as it shows Mr. Wright's use of geometry.

He designed some stained glass windows for the Playhouse, which this carpet complemented. The Triptych (three panelled) window is now in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum in New York.

A 60 knot interpretation of designs used both architecturally and in the interior furnishing and décor. The design falls within the given parameters - both vertically and horizontally with squares, full and half moons and with one smaller planet seemingly floating in space.
