This hand-tufted wool rug by Anni Albers is based on the 1926 gouache on paper study for a wall hanging.  This timeless design is limited to 150 examples and features a neutral palette and modern geometric design.  This pattern is based on repeating and interlocking forms of stripes and blocks, created with a triple-weave technique with brown, taupe, black and grey, that weave together in a chic, latticed design.

The design for this beautiful rug is based on one of Albers's studies for the design of her exceptional ark coverings for a temple in Houston.  In 1956, when Temple Emanu-El began building its new Howard Meyer-designed synagogue on Hillcrest Avenue in Dallas, there would have been no more prestigious choice than Albers to design the ark coverings for its sanctuary.  The eight 20-foot-high panels slide open to reveal Torah scrolls, used in some of the temple’s most sacred rituals and ceremonies. Albers based the green, blue and gold color scheme on the sanctuary’s stained-glass windows, designed by Hungarian sculptor György Kepes.
