Check out the new collection of rugs from 102-year-old designer Eva Zeisel and The Rug Company. This first part post looks at the beautiful neutral rugs...
A blend of silk and wool, the design Eva sits in front of is our favorite of her new collection with The Rug Company.
The Fish design is 100% wool and based on a tile shape of Eva's.

I have so much respect (awe, really) for Eva Zeisel and her incredibly long career. These rugs are nice, though not my favorite work of hers, but I am so glad that she's still practicing, and even evolving in her work. Kudos!

Inspiring! Beautiful designs, too.
HUGE respect for Eva Zeisel and her work. These are lovely - nothing is going to match the impact of her best work, but I like the one she's sitting in front of in the great photo best as well.
I hope to be as creative when/if I get to be her age.
Is it inappropriate for me to say that I have a total crush on Eva? I mean, she's almost three times my age and, damn, can she still design!
Very inspiring that she is still designing, love her work.
@visualingual -- good taste is never inappropriate!
Great rugs. Great designer.
I loved the first rug the first time I saw it, didn't realize it was hers. She is such an amazing woman. I hope to grow up and be just like her.
She is such a national treasure!
I wish I could afford one of these. What beautiful creations.
Could she be any more amazing? What beautiful work!
Wow, she's still alive and making beautiful things! I had no idea.
Wow!!
Love the first rug!
Double cool, as she is the same age as my husband's grandmother, another amazingly beautiful lady.
Does anyone feel she is being exploited? I don't know the details of her new design deals, but I wonder if young execs are trying to squeeze stuff out of her just to make $$$. I kind of feel like, let her rest already! But if this is all her idea and she wants to work--more power to her.
