Product Description

Oblique Amber from our Nanimarquina rug collection captures the most contemporary conceptualization of the tradition of overlaying rugs. This proposal is achieved through the juxtaposition of oblique figures resulting in a geometric finesse, thanks to the different techniques used and the height of the pile, while providing monochromatic volumes to its surroundings

29mm high and hand knotted on an vertical loom. 100% Afghan wool is used, which comes from sheep grazing high in the mountains. Naturally wavy, it is a very resistant material with a rough touch. Due to the curl of the wool and the irregularity in the yarn during weaving, it achieves an aged and unique appearance

Nanimarquina – a unique rug for every person, space and emotion!

Nani Marquina founded her company in 1987 in Barcelona, breaking into the market with a new vision of that time: turning the classic rug into a contemporary design product. Her designs quickly won many accolades and in 1992 she decided to visit India where she discovered the true meaning of the rug and the multiple possibilities there are for reinterpreting it.

Their interest is in how design affects our behaviour, from the physical and emotional perspectives. They embark on the design process from observation, intuition and discovery, responding to the needs of every moment – and then bring on board designers and artists with fresh perspectives and designs, as well as crafts to explore new techniques and materials.

All Nanimarquina rugs are handmade in India, Pakistan and Nepal by skilled artisans who master ancestral local techniques. These are countries where rugs are culturally invaluable and where the best weavers are found. Every rug takes up to 11 weeks to make. The outcome is a unique piece that will help preserve an ancient cultural legacy.

Since their launch they have been developing sustainability strategies that shape the company’s global actions, and through their practical understanding of sustainability, they assess the short and long-term impact of each design.
