Product Description
Motawi Tileworks makes several items that have been inspired by world famous architect, Frank Lloyd Wright. This is one such piece.
The Imperial Hotel, which was designed between 1912-1922, put Frank Lloyd Wright on the map as a nascent global architect. The hotel immediately became an important landmark when it survived the great Kanto earthquake on the first day the hotel opened its doors in 1923. For decades the hotel served as an architectural icon for the city of Tokyo until it was demolished in 1968.
Fortunately, the main entrance and the hotel lobby were preserved and reconstructed at the Museum Meiji-mura, an open-air architectural museum and theme park near Nagoya in Aichi prefecture, Japan. This tile is inspired by the iconic peacock design used in the hotel rug, furniture and wall tapestry. In addition to being a stunning art piece, peacocks are an excellent way to tell someone how proud of them you are. This tile measures 8×8 inches, and can be purchased on its own, or in a frame for an additional fee.
