A #twofortuesday! We like to think of these 1959 h A #twofortuesday! We like to think of these 1959 horse door pulls as sculptures. #evelynackerman #jeromeackerman #horse #design
These beautiful hardware pulls required multiple s These beautiful hardware pulls required multiple steps by talented craftspeople to produce in Italy. From hand cast brass to inlay, the only machine made part was the screw hole. The Ackermans melded brass and stone inlay (here black marble and mother of pearl mixed) to create sophisticated pieces with a sense of movement and elegance. When they began designing hardware in the late 1950s, it was to fill a gap for their clients—architects and interior designers—in contemporary hardware.

This Toucan mosaic was on the market well before t This Toucan mosaic was on the market well before the popular Fruit Loops cereal mascot, but it still works with “Follow your nose, it always knows”! Thanks to @conceptartgallery for the photo. #fruitloops #evelynackerman #mosaic #jeromeackerman #toucan
Saddened by the passing of the visionary collector Saddened by the passing of the visionary collector Forrest Merrill. Inspired by an art teacher in high school, Forrest began collecting and championing craft as a young man in the 1950s, purchasing his first piece from Glen Lutkens. His appreciation for artists who threw, carved, wove, enameled, forged, and sculpted and his quest to bring their work to people to educate and inspire them was remarkable. Stories about people he called friends, from David Gilhooley and Robert Arneson, Kay Sekimachi and Bob Stocksdale, the Natzlers and the Heinos, June Schwartz and Mary Renk could fill a book. The Ackerman family was fortunate to call him a friend as well. Ten years ago, nearly to the day, Jerry then 96 and Forrest 83, enjoyed each other’s company at the show on Kay Sekimachi’s work @craftcontemporary. RIP friend. #evelynackerman #jeromeackerman #toshikotakaezu #collection #pondfarm
Thanks @samuelhildreth for sharing this vintage @a Thanks @samuelhildreth for sharing this vintage @apnews image of the 1960 National Association of Home Builders convention and exposition in Chicago. He spotted an Elipses mosaic on the wall—not surprising given the relationship between the Ackermans and Paul McCobb. Syndicated business columns in newspapers across the country ran this image to highlight new home technologies and residential consumer trends. A Throwback Thursday winner! #evelynackerman #paulmccobb #jeromeackerman #interiordesign #tbt @homebuilders
The @diadetroit recently acquired a Buildings tape The @diadetroit recently acquired a Buildings tapestry in its collection…and now another is @wrightauction tomorrow! The geometric design is sophisticated with a touch of whimsy, a little reminiscent of Alexander Girard. #detroitinstituteofarts #wrightauction #evelynackerman #jeromeackerman #alexandergirard
Wow @vintageconceptdesign! They recreated an ad fo Wow @vintageconceptdesign! They recreated an ad for a 1966 Chromcraft Sculpta dining set, even including the Panelcarve wall with a number of Evelyn’s designs (Aurora, Zodiac, Candelabra). You might recognize the chairs from the Star Trek episode “The Trouble with Tribbles.” Thanks so much for sharing. #evelynackerman #jeromeackerman #startrek #panelcarve #midcenturymodern
