Overview
Design by Xano Armenter, 2003.
By nanimarquina.
Limbo was a gallery/bar in New York where Xano Armenter used to listen to music, drink beer and hang his paintings, dreaming of fame. As a memory-cum-homage to that very special place, Armenter has given this piece, which is based around a type of cosmopolitan mandala, the evocative name. It features a staircase or spiral towards the center or goal, inspired by the game of snakes and ladders, where much depends on chance.
Made of hand-tufted 100% New Zealand wool, the Black on White Limbo Rug by nanimarquina is available in an 8.2' square.
Notes:
This is a handmade craft product. Minor variations, in size and color, are inevitable. Do not dryclean.

BLACK-ON-WHITE-LIMBO-RUG
Designer: Xano Armenter
Born in Las Palmas to Catalan parents, Xano Armenter grew up in Balaguer (Lleida) and Vigo (Pontevedra). After studying graphic design and art at the Escola Eina in Barcelona (1973-1980) he landed in New York's East Village. Xano worked with Milton Glaser (1981-1984) and held exhibitions in various locations in Lower Manhattan, such as the legendary Limbo Lounge (after which his nanimarquina rug was named).
Influenced by both graffiti and a renewed figurative style, his painting developed an expressive urban style scored by a deep black drawing line, blending expressive sensitivity with the contemplative beauty of design. He presently lives and works in New York and Barcelona.
