Riccardo Forti

Frank Lloyd Wright — an American architect, founder of “organic architecture,” and a pioneer of the open-plan concept. His Prairie Houses became the prototype for 20th-century American residential design, and he is regarded by the American Institute of Architects as the most influential architect in the history of the United States.

The “Coonley #2” brooch created for ACME Studio translates one of Wright’s most iconic decorative compositions — the geometric motif from the Coonley Playhouse windows (1907–1908) — into a miniature work of wearable art. The original design, composed of circles, squares, and intersecting linear rhythms, reflects Wright’s unique exploration of abstraction, balance, and color in architectural ornament.

Produced under official license from the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, this brooch belonged to a limited series manufactured between 1987 and 1994. ACME Studio worked directly with the Foundation to adapt archival drawings into cloisonné enamel, a technique that preserves the clarity of Wright’s lines and the saturated tones of his palette. Each edition required Foundation approval of prototypes before production, ensuring strict fidelity to the original architectural artwork.

ACME Studio’s collaborations with Wright sit at the intersection of architecture and design culture. Today, these pieces are held in the permanent collections of major institutions, including MoMA (New York), the Victoria & Albert Museum (London), the Museum of Fine Arts Houston, and the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam. 

Wright editions have become highly collectible due to their limited production and the absence of modern reissues.
