Nanimarquina presents its new rugs collection Natural in Milan

3 abril, 2013

This year, nanimarquina has designed a new rug collection that will immerse us into the stunning world of nature. The Natural Collection has been produced with an exclusive selection of natural fibres that reflect the plurality that nature has to offer: nettle, afghan wool, silk and jute.

These fibres are twisted together into continuous thread: a highly laborious manual process that enriches the design, giving each carpet a soft and unique texture. Each thread, each knot, transports us to the world where this rug began.

The Natural Collection has been made using biodegradable, chemical-free cleaning products. This took nanimarquina a step further in the fight against environmental degradation.

A range of seven different rugs created by using the four fibres (nettle, silk, afghan wool and jute) and four different manual techniques: Dhurrie, Hand knotted, Kilim or Hand-woven sumac. Each one shows the natural colour of the fibre or a colour variation consistent with the desire to create a pleasant and natural atmosphere.

All nanimarquina carpets are handmade, so colour variations may be found due to the handmade process or due to the characteristics of vegetable fibres… this makes them even more unique.

And also… Losanges II in Milan 2013

Led by the Bouroullec brothers, we are pleased to reveal the new colourway of the Losanges carpet in beige and grey.

Faithful to the simplicity and elegance of the Losanges collection, a referent in style and quality, Losanges II has been designed as a reinterpretation of the traditional Persian rug, made by using the ancient kilim method, and with the desire to convey calm and warmth using the natural colour of Afghan wool.

“I am really proud of Losanges. Not only because it provides some qualities and some textures that are so difficult to achieve in an industrial process, but also because it is the result of the order and the lovely disorder caused by the shades and the lines breaking the geometry of the diamonds.” Erwan Bouroullec.
