Frank Lloyd Wright Racine Planter

This planter is part of a collection made in collaboration with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, celebrating the modern forms and natural materials that are pillars of the legendary architect’s work. Each Racine Planter is made with a concrete terrazzo that directly references materials or colors Wright used to create some of his most recognized and influential designs—a humble tribute to considerable architectural masterpieces. Materials: Concrete, glass terrazzo Dimensions: 8.3 x 8.3 x 5.6 in

Colorways:
-Confetti – inspired by Avery Coonley Playhouse - The confetti-like flecks of this terrazzo are an ode to the stained glass windows that adorn the Avery Coonley Playhouse in Riverside, Illinois. Considered to be Wright’s most renowned window design, they depict colorful compositions of balloons, confetti, and flags—described by Wright as a “kinder symphony.” The playful imagery honors the original purpose of the playhouse, ommissioned by Coonley to be a kindergarten for his daughter and her neighborhood friends.
-Carbon – inspired by Taliesin - More than once, the existence of Wright’s life and Wisconsin home, Taliesin, was threatened by fires. Rather than try to erase the damage and memories left by these tragedies, he chose to rebuild, using any remaining parts of the home that were salvageable. Though charred by smoke and flames, Wright found beauty in the imperfections and incorporated many original decorative elements into the repairs. The carbon color of this planter is an ode to the recovered pieces used in Taliesin’s multiple restorations—and can be seen as an homage to the strength Wright found in survival.
