ABC Marks Summer of Love's 40th

New York, NY, July 12, 2007--ABC Carpet and Home is marking the 40th anniversary of the Summer of Love with new kaleidoscopic hand-woven, semi-antique and vintage rugs.

The company said the infusion of vibrant color in ornate motifs embodies the spirit of the psychedelic phenomenon of the summer of 1967.

 

This is an excellent representation of the extensive style range of Oriental carpets," remarked Graham Head, vice chairman of ABC Carpet.

"The complexity of the designs and intellectual use of color suggests the idea of rugs as art.”

 

The Summer of Love refers to the summer of 1967, when people  from around the world flocked to San Francisco to join in a countercultural revolution of new ideas and behaviors. The event brought about a new psychedelic influence in art, fashion, and popular culture.
