This delicate stylized design of waterlilies, common in the tranquil ponds of the Midwest, is adapted from Frank Lloyd Wright’s drawing “Waterlilies,” which is thought to be designed for an art glass screen in 1895 but never produced. This early example epitomizes Wright’s ability to incorporate themes from nature and exemplifies his philosophy of “organic architecture” – the connecting of the natural world into his architecture as well as his decorative designs.

The 6×8″ tile is finished in a Dard Hunter Studios Oak Park frame made of quartersawn oak. Its finished size is 9 1/2 x 11 1/2″.

Every Motawi tile is made by hand and with heart in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
