New Motawi Tileworks Art Tile. FROZEN SPHERES 8″x 8″. In 1927, Wright designed a series of 12 monthly covers for Liberty magazine based on seasonal themes. Unfortunately, the publishers judged them as too radical for the time. Each cover design exemplifies Wright’s practice of using the tools of his trade-T-square, triangle, and compass-to create lively geometric designs. Nearly a century later, Motawi celebrates this study in geometry, asymmetry, and color with its 8×8 ceramic art tile inspired by Wright’s. Each Motawi tile is made by hand in Ann Arbor, Michigan with time-honored methods which produce a nuanced range of color with depth and translucence on each design. These hand-crafted tiles may vary slightly in color and dimensions, up to 1/16. Actual Tile Size: Approximately 7 7/8″ x 7 7/8″.
