Nanimarquina Ceras Rug

Colors that speak to us and bring serenity; friendly colors that come from nature and do not aim to be strident. The Ceras collection, designed by Nani Marquina, is the result of a comprehensive study of color through the manual process of tracing with crayons. An intuitive and instinctive process, a quest for balance using three colors and something as simple as drawing stripes in repetition. A straightforward code targeting the senses that combines with itself, with the objects around us, and even with people.

Four rug sizes available in four color combinations that harmonize spaces and boost our quality of life. Handmade designs using the hand-loomed kilim technique. This is a high-density rug, durable and hard wearing, yet very light.

Nani Marquina

Spain, 1952

Elena Marquina, known as Nani Marquina, was born in Barcelona in 1952. After studying industrial design at the Massana School in Barcelcona, she started working with the architects Sellés-Marquina in 1973. In 1984 she made her first carpets and decided to devote herself to carpet design and set up her company, Nanimarquina, two years later. By 1988 some of her carpet creations were being exported to Germany and Japan. A year later one of her collections was selected for the shop at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

A superb colorist Marquina finds inspiration not only in nature but also in the challenge of creating something that hasn’t been done before. The designer is also a firm believer that a rug must surprise and captivate but never be too aggressive. The result is her striking depth in materials, ranging from low pile to long strands of felted wool to die-cut rose petals.

Nani Marquina is known internationally for her textiles and rugs, which have been exhibited in New York, Paris, Milan, Berlin, Osaka and Tokyo.
