Fugue is a type of music composed of one melody interweaving additional melodies. A famous Bach piece called “Little Fugue” sums this concept up nicely. Fugues, for me at least, seem very natural but structured. 

This describes the work of Frank Lloyd Wright and his son Lloyd Wright very well. Lloyd Wright’s studio in West Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, is a visual treasure for me. Its incorporation of cactus in its landscape and architecture is very soothing. It feels like a Fugue, with the main theme being a cactus and the interweaving of materials and utilization of cactus forms. 

We tried to give this bandanna a main theme and interweaving themes that felt futuristic but also very architectural. Sort of like the structure of circuit boards. Many themes are intermixed throughout, but the main theme of Lloyd Wright’s cactus latticework is the main point. I think this will look great mixed with any style and look our customers can come up with. The intricate design will be sure to catch the eyes, and anyone familiar with Wright’s work may point out the similarities.  

We did something unique for the colour palette by combining a stucco greige and sage-like green with a charcoal-stained grey.
