Permanente Quarry Pillows
Description: A rugged tribute to California’s industrial backbone, this vintage-style artwork features a colossal orange quarry truck with workers beside it, set in the rocky terrain of Cupertino. The bold typography and distressed finish evoke the hardworking legacy of the Permanente Quarry, a historic site established in 1939. The design captures the gritty spirit of early 20th-century American industry and labor pride.
Description: Cupertino, California is known for a lot of things, but what most people don’t know is that there is a 3,510-acre limestone quarry hidden in plain sight along Permanente Creek just west of town in an unincorporated area of Santa Clara County. The massive quarry has been in operation since 1939 when it was started to supply concrete for the construction of the Shasta Dam, and today is responsible for the production of more than half of the cement used in the Bay Area.
