Product Description

Matiz Panel Ivory Runner from our Nanimarquina rug collection, is inspired by the subtle shifts and nuances found in colour itself, Matiz explores how tones blend, overlap, and evolve through the handcrafted weaving process. The collection translates these soft transitions into a refined graphic expression that feels both calm and vibrant at the same time

The combination of carefully balanced colour gradients and handcrafted textile techniques creates a tactile and visually layered surface.Slight irregularities and tonal variations become part of the beauty of the collection, highlighting the human touch behind each piece.

Through its rich texture, warm materiality, and sophisticated colour language, Matiz is particularly well suited for contemporary residential interiors, hospitality spaces, and design-driven environments where atmosphere, craftsmanship, and subtle visual depth are valued.

Matiz (Spanish for nuance) began with the idea of dye as a way of drawing. Early experiments looked to ancient “resist techniques” such as batik or plangi: folding, binding, marking the surface before applying color. On thick, absorbent wool, the gesture proved less precise, leading to a simpler, more direct approach while gaining in clarity. Each rug is woven first, then partially dyed. A field of carefully selected color meets the natural wool in a soft transition. The gesture is clear, yet never entirely controlled. The Afghan wool is chosen for its irregularity, producing a vibrant texture.

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.
