A Life and Legacy of Design: Evelyn + Jerome Ackerman; IN-PERSON event.

Evelyn and Jerome Ackerman were preeminent designers who made major contributions to the California Mid-Century Modern aesthetic. Both accomplished artists in their own right, they produced ceramics, textiles, mosaics, woodcarvings, and hardware. Their company Jenev, established in 1953, evolved into ERA Industries as they developed products used by the leading architects and interior designers of the time.
