Liza Lou Show at L&M Los Angeles







If you haven't checked out Liza Lou's show at L&M Gallery yet, we highly recommend going - it's one of the best shows we've seen this year. The piece pictured directly above titled Gather (one million) is made from nine million beads threaded onto wire to create one million blades of grass. Liza Lou, for the past six years, has maintained a studio in South Africa, where she works with Zulu artisans whose families have worked with beads for generations. While Lou does not borrow from the tradition of African bead work, this new body of work reflects her travels, meditating upon process, the impossibility of perfection, and what Lou terms “the culpability of craft.”

Commune + Decorative Carpets




We are excited to announce the launch of our new Commune Rug Collection. The subtly patterned rugs feature textural combinations of hand-knotted wool, hemp, and silk in neutral tones that complement both modern and traditional interiors. Sold exclusively through Decorative Carpets, Los Angeles.



To celebrate the launch of our new collection, we held an event at Decorative Carpets as a part of the Avenues Design Walk, West Hollywood. During the event we spoke along with Gerard O'Brien of Reform Gallery about California artists and artisans and their influence on interior design. If you missed the event be sure to check out our bag that we also designed for The Avenues Design Walk here!
