Gravitacion 1994 Rug
Overview
Design by Nani Marquina, 2012.
By nanimarquina.
The Gravitacion 1994 Rug is part of the newest collection from nanimarquina that focuses on impeccable construction and timeless design. The Chillida Collection draws its inspiration entirely from the works of the late Spanish artist Eduardo Chillida (1924-2002) whose style is critically acclaimed for both its attention to detail and a respect for the materials. Nani Marquina carries on the Chillida legacy with the Gravitacion 1994 Rug by accurately portraying the depth and layered effects for which Chillida himself was famous.
This modern rug is a perfect example of the quality that comes from a completely hand made product. The unique hand knotted technique along with the hand-spun wool and silk make this one of the finest rugs on the market.
Notes:
This is a handmade craft product. Minor variations, in size and color, are inevitable. Do not dry clean.
