Former San Franciscan Dan Golden is producing a line of rugs, made in New York, from a series of his very sardonic cartoons. The rugs are made from New Zealand wool that is dyed in Georgia and tufted by hand in Long Island City. The cost at $120 per square foot reflects local labor conditions and attention to ecology, says business partner Ford Lininger. Golden and Lininger both graduated from San Francisco State more than a decade ago in the drawing and painting program.
“I thought the cartoons would be great on rugs,” Lininger said.
The rugs have proven popular overseas and to people with contemporary homes who want a unique piece. Golden’s rugs are available through Zinc Details.
