Hand-knotted New Zealand wool runner rug pays homage to the distinctive organic motifs of California midcentury modernism. Recreated from an original 1960s design by Los Angeles artist Evelyn Ackerman, the rug embodies the modernist principle of combining fine art with traditional craftsmanship. The runner is artfully distressed for depth and dimension that varies from rug to rug. CB2 exclusive.
Detroit natives Evelyn and Jerome Ackerman founded ERA Industries in 1956. For 50 years, the Los Angeles-based couple played a central role in shaping the California midcentury modern movement. The Ackermans' first woven tapestry was featured on the cover of the Los Angeles Times Home Magazine in 1957. Presented in collaboration with Ackerman Modern, the pieces in this collection recreate the couple's iconic midcentury designs using original drawings and archival photographs.
