As artist-in-charge, Evelyn creates a set of 12 needlepoint wall hangings for the corporate offices of Litton Industries, Beverly Hills. The 6´ x 8´ tapestries are hand embroidered by skilled artists in Greece based on full-size drawings.

Responding to a market need for well-designed, contemporary cabinet hardware, Jerome designs the Antico line of hand-cast solid brass knobs and pulls, some with inlays, and has them produced in Italy.

Evelyn creates do-it-yourself finger puppet kits as a fund-raiser for her daughter’s nursery school and they are later sold through ERA and featured in House and Garden. ERA outgrows the showroom on Melrose and moves to Beverly Boulevard in the heart of the design trade and across from Herman Miller.
