Such a great group of people at the @docomomo_soca Such a great group of people at the @docomomo_socal event “Faith and Form” @oneonta_church in South Pasadena. A gem of a midcentury building and a congregation with a long and interesting history. Thanks to those who came, the Docomomo So Cal board, and Oneonta for hosting. #docomomo #midcenturyarchitecture #panelcarve #design #architecture #evelynackerman #evelynandjeromeackerman #church #stainedglass #jeromeackerman #californiadesign #jerryackerman #womendesigners #southpasadena

A tale of two tapestries. Originally designed in 1 A tale of two tapestries. Originally designed in 1958 and called Abstract, the design was handwoven in Mexico until 1963-4 (left image). In 1970, production was resumed, this time as a hand hooked wall hanging called Window Abstract made in Japan for two years (right image). A beautiful early example of the woven tapestry is coming up in @lamodernauctions American Design auction on September 23. #design #lamodernauctions @wrightauction  #evelynackerman #jeromeackerman #evelynandjeromeackerman #craft #womendesigners #midcenturymodern #midcentury #jerryackerman #eames #alexandergirard #californiadesign
