Coonley #5 Cufflinks. © 1997 The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation. All rights reserved.
This design by Frank Lloyd Wright is part of our unique Cufflinks collection. The design has silver line work with red, yellow, and blue accents on a black background that are reminiscent of the windows in the child's playhouse designed by Wright for Avery Coonley in the suburbs of Chicago - representing balloons and confetti in a Fourth of July Parade. The design is made of cast zinc alloy with colored enamel. The cufflinks are packaged in a black box with the designer's bio card.
Frank Lloyd Wright is considered to be one of the most iconic American architects of all time. Wright believed in designing structures that reflected humanity and its environment. He called this philosophy organic architecture, which was best exemplified by Fallingwater, one of the most famous works of American architecture. His innovation was exemplified in many structures including offices, churches, schools, skyscrapers, hotels, and museums. He also designed various pieces of furniture as well as stained glass. Wright was also the author of numerous books and articles and was a popular lecturer in the United States and in Europe.
To this day, Wright is recognized as the greatest American architect of all time. His legacy is one of America "foremost cultural treasures. A portion of the proceeds from sales of this product support the Foundation's conversation and education programs.
