Christopher Farr Meets the Elder Statesman

If the buzz and spectacle of Frieze L.A. leaves you in need of a bit of mindfulness, the Elder Statesman has you covered—or, at least, a corner of your floor: The Elder Statesman x Christopher Farr offers a quartet of meditation mats by the noted rug artist, all handmade by his weavers in Mirzapur, India. The mats sport reproductions of pen and ink drawings made in the 1960s by Thelma Chait, grandmother of The Elder Statesman founder Greg Chait, and offer her iterations of radiating lines and darting eyes in a dozen colorways including a particularly groovy match-up of gold and pink. With their ancient Persian knot technique and exacting designs, each takes 20–24 weeks to produce—but nobody said mindfulness comes quickly.
