Frank lloyd wrightWright designed over 4,000 leaded glass windows and doors for over 150 of his buildings. While most know them as "leaded glass" and they were often referred to as "art glass windows", Wright often referred to them as "light screens". This term has its roots in Japanese shoji screens, which were arranged in bands like his windows. Wright created leaded glass designs for doors, skylights, back-lit ceiling panels, table lamps, and wall sconces as well as for windows.
The Robie House is in Chicago and was built in 1907-1908.
