Nanimarquina Losanges Modern Rug by Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec


The Losanges rug was created and designed by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec in collaboration with Nanimarquina in Spain. The Bouroullec brothers continue their study of simplicity and elegance with their new Losanges collection. It’s about reinterpreting the traditional Persian rug using the ancient kilim technique. Technically complex, the Losanges collection requires great skill as it involves combining 13 colors through the geometrical rhombus shape, a great challenge for the craftsmen of Northern Pakistan. As well as being crafted by hand, the Afghan wool is also spun by hand, which allows for some unique color tones to be highlighted which make each rhombus different and each rug a unique item.

"We've always been fascinated by the traditional Persian carpets, specifically by the ancient technique of kilim which is a delicate blend of rusticity and finesse. We had the chance to see this project done by the artisans of northern Pakistan who have combined skill with thirteen colors and reproduce the geometric shape of the diamond. Besides being crafted in the traditional way, the Afghan wool is spun by hand, thereby highlighting the unique color tones. This technique makes each random lozenge subtly distinct and each carpet, a singular piece." - Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec
