You will notice the same geometric patterns throughout Frank Lloyd Wright's houses. The strong lines are repeated in carpets, furniture upholstery, leaded glass screens, chair designs, and the essential structure of the building.

Frank Lloyd Wright designed this textile for F. Schumacher's Taliesin Line in 1957.
