Product Description

Topo Black from our Nanimarquina rug collection, is an invitation to rethink the boundaries of functional design and rediscover the beauty of the essential: a large circle, positioned at the very edge of the rectangular area. A powerful visual tension. Each Topo rug is handwoven with handspun Afghan wool. A kilim that combines textile tradition with a radically contemporary aesthetic. The collection is available in three monochromatic versions: black, green or red, always set against a raw background.

Hand loomed using 100%hand spun Afghan wool with a pile height of 4mm

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.
