Roses Rug by Nani Marquina

Barcelona based rug designer Nani Marquina has some stunning new rugs. We saw images of this Roses rug in Dwell and fell in love. There are a few colors to choose from, but this red felt makes us want to roll around naked on it all day…maybe too much information- sorry.

This rug is a cheap copy of Cappeletti rug of Illu Stration. Compare at www. feltshop.de.tt.
And it is made in India.

can anyone help me find a super chunky custom abaca rug?? I saw one in AZ, but was told that the LA supplier had gone out of business. I am a designer and am embarassed to admit that i haven't been able to find a source. Thank you!!!

You would never roll around naked if you saw the video of how the rugs are produced.

@petra
Yeah and everyone knows everything from India is low quality. ;) I love Cappeletti too. Mary ann does amazing things with felted wool. So what no one else can use felted wool in rugs? No doubt its a new technique in rug making. Then designers use the new technique to express their designs. I think Roses and Field of Flowers by Tord B are good examples of this. I dont think you can call using a new technique a cheap copy of the first design. Lots of chairs have four legs but no one calls them cheap copies of the first four leg chair. I like all of them and we are sure to see more. Cheers! ;)
