Nanimarquina Carpets
Nanimarquina’s carpets are always a beautiful surprise. Her designs celebrate modern design, but with a sense of fun. This year was no different.
My top fave was Rangoli, which takes its name from the classic Hindu mosaics. These are typically found at the entrance of Hindu homes and are symbols are good luck. Rangoli comes in three sizes (each with a slightly different pattern), and two colors.
The aptly named Victoria is a colorful take on a classic, Baroque style. Partida is more minimalist – a series of dots that, from a distance, blend together to form a single color with a path in the center.
Bichos y Flores is designed especially for children. Circular in form, they’re a series of flowers and animals that create a comfortable playground for kids.
Ninamarquina had two displays – one at the Salone and another at the Tortona section, in the center of Milan.
The Tortona display was designed to celebrate designers from Barcelona – including Camper (a shoe store) and chairs designed by other Barcelonians, such as the wonderful Jaime Hayon. You can find her carpets at Mezzanine.
