Uni-Art Frank Lloyd Wright Colored Coonley Playhouse Doormat

The Frank Lloyd Wright Coonely Playhouse Doormat is adapted from the Avery Coonley House, Riverside, IL (1908-1912). The Avery Coonley House, Riverside, IL (1908-1912) was designed for Avery and Queene Coonley. It is unlike Wright's early designs with their nature derivations. The Coonley Playhouse windows are purely geometric in composition and feature bright, mostly primary colors. This design may have been inspired by a parade, the colored glass simulates a haphazard, yet controlled, arrangement of balloons, confetti and flags. The windows were the focal point of the playhouse, actually a kindergarten operated by Mrs. Coonley. This doormat is constructed in coir fiber pressed into rubber base. The generous proportions of this mat are 30 inches by 18 inches.
