A bit of history!

In the early 1920's Frank Lloyd Wright lived for a short while in Southern California. During this time he created a system of home construction using what he called "Textile Blocks". These blocks were cast concrete construction blocks, with a patterned exterior surface, and some had perforations to allow light to pass through. It's said the designs were inspired by Mayan temple architecture.

Wright designed and built four homes during this time, all in Southern California, which remain classics of American architecture. He also designed a building called the Community Playhouse that was never constructed.

The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation authorized the reproduction of five patterns from these structures into tabletop, cast stone lanterns. They are shipped with a candle and can be placed indoors or out.

The Millard house, aka "La Miniatura", was the first textile house built in 1923 and still stands in Pasadena, just east of Los Angeles.
