Details

Butterfly Tapestry reinterprets one of Lucia Eames’ most iconic symbols in a smaller format, conceived as a textile artwork. 

Handwoven in kilim using hand-spun Afghan wool, the design plays with variations in density to reveal the inner structure of the weave, subtly drawing the butterfly form. This approach captures the texture and sensitivity of the original collage, resulting in a nuanced and tactile surface. 

Designed as a ready-to-hang piece, it includes a wall hanging system that allows for easy integration into a variety of spaces, bringing an artistic and versatile presence. 

  • Type

    Kilim

  • Total height

    4 mm

  • Density

    56.450 yarns/m2

Fibers

100% Afghan Wool

Afghan wool comes from sheep grazed high in the mountains of Afghanistan. Naturally corrugated, it is a very resistant material with a rough touch. Due to the curl of the wool and the irregularity in the yarn, when weaving it it achieves an aged and unique look.

Technique

Hand loomed Kilim

Manual weaving on a vertical or horizontal loom that plays with the intersection between weft and warp.

It is characterized by being thin, hairless and with geometric motifs. High-density rugs, durable and resistant, even when they are very light rugs.

Cleaning and care

Tips

Vacuum frequently.

Clean stains with the appropriate solution before they dry.

Take the rug to specialized dry cleaners, if necessary.

Lucia Eames Collection

Lucia Eames, born in 1930 in St. Louis, Missouri, to Charles and Catherine Eames, spent the first 10 years of her life with them-including time in the rich creative environment of Michigan’s Cranbrook Academy of Art.  After her parents’ divorce, she returned to St. Louis with her mother for the school year, spending summers in California with her father and Ray Eames. While deeply influenced by that legendary design duo, Lucia Eames’s own creative path unfolded quietly and deliberately, largely outside the public eye beginning with her education in the 1950s and her move to California in 1960, all the while raising 5 children. Today, her work rewards renewed attention, allowing her unique voice, sensibility, and artistic language to emerge in their own right.
