Nanimarquina Spiral Rug In Brown

The Spiral Rug was designed by Martín Azúa & Gerard Moliné for Nanimarquina in Spain. Handmade, serene, natural rug. These are some of the values that can be appreciated with a simple glance at this collection, where the material — wool — is the clear protagonist. The secret is the technique used to make it: totally by hand. The superimposed spirals curl up around the boiled, felt wool without twisting, which makes it more compact. Once made, these are sewn one by one onto a cloth base with visible stitches. This makes the piece unique, available in two colors: brown or ivory. A return to basics, with an image that provides the evidence.

Nanimarquina African House 3 Rug

The African House rug was designed by Nani Marquina for Nanimarquina in Spain. The African House rug has its origins in the fascinating murals made by members of the South African Besotho tribe on the outside of their houses. Besotho women decorate the adobe walls of their homes with plant and flower ornaments, inventing stunning decorative allegories. They are artistic expressions of prayers to their ancestors, to whom they pray for rain, sun and peace. This collection brings us the cultural symbology of this tribe, bringing their exotic exterior motifs to the interior of our homes, giving a certain ethnic touch. The relief on the wool rug reproduces the mud treatment in their murals, in ochre, earth and sand tones.

Nanimarquina Luna Modern Rug by Oscar Tusquets Blanca

Nanimarquina Luna Rug

The Luna rug was designed by Oscar Tusquets Blanca for Nanimarquina in Spain. This dreamy piece is a re-edition from the ’80s that comes from Oscar Tusquets' La Tierra and La Luna rugs. Advances in photographic techniques have allowed this exact reproduction of an image of a moon in its waxing phase to be given even greater definition. The colors of the original work have also been revised, making them warmer, in browns and beiges. The '80s version of La Luna was smaller, so this bigger version allows it to be placed in passage ways, hallways or at the foot of a bed. Now you can ask for the moon and put it at the foot of the bed without wanting the impossible, and walk on the moon without it being a giant leap.

Nanimarquina Global Warming Modern Rug by NEL Colectivo


Nanimarquina Global Warming Rug


Nanimarquina Global Warming Rug

The Global Warming rug was designed for Nanimarquina in Spain. Rugs have traditionally been tools to convey messages from every culture, artistic and practical means for civilisations to express themselves. This collection acts as a platform for communication, embodying its own clear message from our times. The Mexican Nel Collective discovered the possibility of realizing a non-conventional project to spread a direct message, an invitation to reflect about the current world and its state of emergency. The name of these ecological rugs says it all: global warming, represented in the solitude of one small polar bear in three dimensions, unprotected and adrift on a block of ice, in the middle of an immense sea. It is an offering of hope, the hope for a better future, a world that is possible.

The Formosa rug was designed by Michael Lin for Nanimarquina in Spain. Created by this versatile and authentic Japanese artist, the Formosa evokes the name 16th-century Portuguese sailors gave to the island of Taiwan The rug’s delicate and attractive style combines Pop aesthetics with Taiwanese pictorial tradition. Following this tradition, it took three years of meticulous work to reproduce the subtle use of color on wool that is characteristic of Lin, who specializes in transforming large, cold and bland spaces into luminous organic fields of intense shades. The type of knot used to make this rug makes it 40% denser than other hand-knotted rugs, and consequently, it has more weight and better quality. Pure harmony, in red or blue.

The Folk rug was designed by Nani Marquina for Nanimarquina in Spain. The connection between tradition and historical roots is reflected perfectly in this Nordic-style rug. It comes from the need to recover origins and ornamental culture, taking up floral motifs and borders as representation of ancestral themes. It draws on the simplicity of traditional Scandinavian design, reinterpreted and updated to adapt to contemporary spaces, with nods to the original folklore of Latin American regions. The shades chosen — ivory, purples and greens — help convey this effect, taking you to a cozy, homey atmosphere full of legends and mythology, wood, fire and leather.

Nanimarquina Extended Modern Rug by Martí Guixé

Nanimarquina Extended Rug


The Extended rug was designed by Martí Guixé for Nanimarquina in Spain.
This modern rug possesses graphic iconography that is characteristic of its designer, whose works stand out for being very conceptual.
In this case, tradition and modernity, classicism and contemporaneity are cut and pasted to make a rational whole, fusing together without blending.
Each monochrome area represents the amount of color that is inside the frame of a Persian rug, decentralized.
Guixé’s love of contrast is embodied in this work, whose point of departure — a traditional Persian tapestry — is extended to unexpected limits.

Nanimarquina Do-Lo-Rez 2 Rug In Reds


Created by Ron Arad for Nanimarquina in Spain, Do-Lo-Rez is a union of two pieces, rug and sofa, conceived as a single element. Created jointly, they form an unusual project that brings the virtual world closer to the real world. Its name comes from the expression “do low resolution”. The idea came to him after seeing a pixelated image in low resolution, which has materialised into a three-dimensional surface. The rug is made through the hand tufting technique, making each square a different height from the ones beside it. On the other hand, its extraordinary format involves multiple vertices that seem like the final pieces of an unfinished puzzle. This game of volume and levels allows for made-to-measure, customized rugs.
