SHOWERS OCTOBER 2024

CLOUD9 FABRICS is honored to partner with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation on this exciting new line. One of our fundamental tenets is to bring beautiful, sophisticated art to fabric, and in drawing on Wright’s distinctively American style – a cornerstone of contemporary modern design – we present unique fabrics that harmonize Wright’s reverence for organic materials with our own ethos.

FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT

The work of Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) is recognized worldwide as pivotal to the development of modern architecture. Through a deep understanding of our relationship with the natural world, Wright’s ideas and designs were inspired by organic forms. His vision, “to make life more beautiful, the world a better one for living in, and to give rhyme, reason, and meaning to life” is carried on through the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation and represented on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation Archives

A pioneer of AMERICAN MODERNISM

Wright began his career in the 1880s during the heyday of the Arts and Crafts movement. Its embrace of natural materials and fine handwork are reflected in Wright's highly-embellished early work, The House Beautiful. As he launched his independent career, he became the preeminent developer and practitioner of the distinctively American, Prairie Style, highlighting the simple geometric basis of nature. As Wright’s style matured, it demonstrated a broader more sweeping approach, reducing decorative design to abstracted beauty characterized by line, shape, light and space through a blend of modern and traditional materials which will eventually go on to shape Mid-Century Modern ideals. In our two introductory fabric collections we bridge his earliest undertakings with his lasting iconic style.

SHOWERS

LIBERTY COVERS

In 1927, Frank Lloyd Wright designed a series of twelve seasonally themed monthly covers for Liberty magazine. The magazine deemed the covers too avant-garde and returned them to Wright. Each design of the Liberty magazine covers is an example of Wright’s practice of using the tools of his trade: a t-square, triangle, and compass to create lively, geometric designs. Cloud9’s adaptation of April Showers and Coonley Tulip adapts Wright’s well-known illustration into a dynamic and fluid pattern perfect for your quilting adventures.
