The production of hand-tufted carpets requires great craftsmanship. Each carpet is made entirely by a single tufter. The shape of the carpet is drawn onto the stretched backing fabric, and it is then crafted using high-quality materials (pure wool) and selected materials.

Robert Indiana (born Robert Clark; September 13, 1928 – May 19, 2018) was an American artist and a central figure in the Pop Art movement. He drew inspiration from advertising signs and claimed, “There are more signs than trees in America. There are more signs than leaves. I consider myself a painter of the American landscape.” In his paintings, sculptures, tapestries, and prints, he imitated and rearranged the words and numbers of a variety of signs, including the Phillips 66 gas station logo and the “Yield” traffic sign. He is best known for his painting “Love,” first created in 1964 for a Christmas card for the Museum of Modern Art in New York. He created a block of the word—with the “L” and the “O” on top of the “V” and the “E”—Indiana effectively inserted his own sign into the mix. His “Love” painting was reproduced on a postage stamp in 1973. His sculptures “Love” are installed in public spaces worldwide.

Indiana moved to New York City in 1954 and joined the Pop Art movement. He employed a distinctive visual language that drew on approaches from commercial art and existentialism, gradually evolving into what Indiana calls "sculptural poems." He has had solo exhibitions in over 40 museums and galleries worldwide. His work is part of the permanent collections of numerous museums, including: the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York; the Stedelijk Museum, Schiedam, Netherlands; the Carnegie Institute, the Detroit Institute of Art, the Baltimore Museum of Art, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, D.C.; the Institute of Contemporary Art, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and the Los Angeles County Museum, California, among many others.
