Motawi Jewelry Shop Window - 8x8

Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) is recognized worldwide as one of the greatest architects of the 20th century,

In 1927, Wright designed a series of 12 monthly covers for Liberty magazine based on seasonal themes. Unfortunately, the publishers judged them as too radical for the time. The magazine returned Wright’s presentation drawings, which became the basis for later interpretations executed in diverse media. Each cover design exemplifies Wright’s practice of using the tools of his trade—T-square, triangle, and compass—to create lively geometric designs.

Nearly a century later, Motawi celebrates this study in geometry, asymmetry, and color with its 8x8 ceramic art tile inspired by Wright’s Jewelry Shop Window design. This lively composition—a stylized arrangement of necklaces and other adornments—evokes the sparkle of gemstones and pearls through bold linework and intricate detail.

Motawi Tileworks is based in Ann Arbor, Michigan where they design and make all of their ceramic tiles by hand. They can be hung on the wall, displayed on a stand, or used as the focal point in your next tile project.
