Hole 4 - Warped Weft

This hole is inspired by a rug woven by Studio Loja Saarinen, in which Eliel’s initials appear in one corner and Cranbrook Academy of Art’s “CA” monogram in another. The peacock motif, which occurs repeatedly in the Saarinens’ designs for Cranbrook, emphasizes that this rug, though destined for use in Loja’s studio in front of a bench of equal width, belonged to a larger scheme for the campus.
