Inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright? Maybe.
In the late 1970s, I bought some outdoor lighting fixtures. They were tall and narrow, and they reminded me of designs of Frank Lloyd Wright. In 1980, I tweaked the design and built several fixtures, large enough to house plants. Not being a carpenter, there were some problems (such as "light leakage" from the corners). In 2013 I had a cabinet maker make me several with better construction. I have three in my gardens, one each of cedar (first photo), white ash (photos two and three), and ipe, a wood from Brazil. Two are in my Japanese garden, as they remind me of Japanese architecture.Last summer I visited Taliesin, the studio and home of Wright in Spring Green, WI, 90 minutes west of my home. In December I visited Taliesin West, his winter studio and home in Scottsdale, AZ. I think he would like my design. He, too, was presumptuous--and lived in Wisconsin.
