Lighting

The overall harmony of architecture, environment and features within were the architects main principles. Light fixtures reflected the Prairie style architect's fondness for pure geometric forms. Many of the glass designs take nature forms for inspiration, for example, butterfly wings and a midwestern shrub called the sumac.
