Product Description

Lucia Eames Butterfly Jute Natural from our Nanimarquina Lucia Eames rug collection, captures one of the most recurring motifs in Lucia Eames’ work, where butterflies appear as symbols of curiosity, transformation and lightness. Its organic silhouette, almost like a sketch translated into textile, gives the piece a subtle yet expressive presence. Made from hand-braided jute and stitched together, the rug is constructed in separate sections that merge into a continuous form. This technique highlights the Natural texture of the fiber, bringing warmth and a quiet, contemporary aesthetic. Its irregular shape moves it closer to an object than a conventional rug, making it ideal for spaces that call for a distinctive, characterful element.

Hand stitched using 100% jute with a pile height of 7mm

A rug collection based on original works by American artist Lucia Eames which translates Lucia’s distinctive visual language into a woven format, marking a significant expansion of her artistic legacy through material, craftsmanship, and contemporary design.

Drawing on seven works created by Lucia, the collection reflects recurring motifs present in her joyful work, such as butterflies, birds, suns, tendrils, and abstract organic forms. Much of Lucia’s deeply Californian practice was rooted in drawing and exploration on paper, making the transition to textiles feel natural and intuitive. The rugs offer a tactile and architectural medium through which Lucia’s two-dimensional compositions can be experienced spatially and over time.

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.
