 Our Fountainhead Pens Celebrate The Design Genius of Frank Lloyd Wright.
In the lush woods of Pennsylvania lies Fallingwater, the stunning summer home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in the 1950’s for the Kaufmann family, of Pittsburgh department-store fame. Cantilevered dramatically over a burbling brook, it is surely the most spectacular of Wright’s avant designs.
 Should you tour Fallingwater, you’ll note Wright’s amazing talent for designing complementary furniture, artwork and decorative accents. Our line of Fountainhead roller balls draws inspiration from several Wright masterpieces.
 ‘Scottsdale’ echoes the decorative geometric motif created for the lavish Arizona Biltmore Resort and Spa (1929) in Scottsdale. ‘Des Plaines’ repeats a ceramic tile design Wright used for the estate of Avery Coonley on the banks of the Des Plaines River in 1908. ‘Mayan’ reflects the geometric pattern Wright inscribed on the 16” concrete blocks used in the fabulous Charles Ennis home in Southern California.
 ‘Imperial’ mirrors the decorative tiles Wright used around the reflecting pool of Tokyo’s grandiose Imperial Hotel, 1923. ‘And ‘Wright’s Studio’ faithfully recreates the artglass lighting in Wright’s Home and Studio, where for 20 years he developed the Prairie Style of architecture. ‘Aqua Rainshowers’ comes only as a set of roller ball and ballpoint, and repeats a graphic created by Wright for a series of Liberty Magazine covers, circa 1927-1928.
