WALKER ZANGER TAPS INTO FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT INFLUENCES
Elegantly Understated Waterfall Collection Crafted from Slate and Marbleized Glass
SYLMAR, Calif., Apr. 7, 2010 -
Frank Lloyd Wright is perhaps the quintessential American architect, yet his influences can be traced as far away as Asia, and his harmonious blending of geometrics and natural materials make a statement all their own. Hewing to this tradition, and drawing inspiration from Wright's palette and sensibilities, Walker Zanger is pleased to honor the creator of the Fallingwater House with its Waterfall Collection of mosaic tiles crafted of honed slate and iridescent marbleized glass. Available in a multitude of elegant mosaic formats and colors, the Waterfall Collection imparts an organic feeling of luxury to any room it graces.
The Waterfall Collection is available in nine different mosaic patterns including motifs such as Prairie and Woodridge. Its versatility is evident in its variety of 45 tantalizing color combinations such as Moss, Oyster, and Onyx. There are also slate-on-slate mosaics like Weave, as well as intricate mosaics including the delicate Ledge, River, and Rain patterns, which are highlighted with iridescent glass tiles. These offerings are the only slate-and-glass combination on the market today.
While the Waterfall Collection clearly is at home in Arts & Crafts and Mid-Century Modern settings, it also plays to the eastern influences that inspired Wright, and perfectly complements Zen and Modern Asian designs as well. "As with Wright's architecture," says Walker Zanger Marketing Director Tristan McManaman, "The Waterfall Collection merges crisp, finely honed surfaces with the natural variation of slate and handmade glass, creating a unique 'organic modern' look."
