Nani Marquina


Nani Marquina, Barcelona-based designer by TEXTILE DESIGNERS.

HINT: From traditional rug design to new tactile heights.

"Marquina's textured designs are characterized by the striking depth of the materials she uses. Ranging from softly tufted low-pile reliefs to long strands of fluffy wool fibres, her carpets seem ready to embrace the whole body, rather than just cushion the feet. 'Textures are a way of representing the union of two feelings: view and touch'. Many of her textures are inspired by nature and she readily accepts the challenge of recreating the beauty of the natural world in the fibre form."*

*from the book TEXTILE DESIGNERS, at the cutting edge. By Bradley Quinn.
