Nanimarquina collaborates with Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec to launch its Blur collection

Stylish interior featuring Nanimarquina's Blur collection rug, Bouroullec-designed chair, and vibrant green decor elements.

For the third time, Nanimarquina has collaborated with designers Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec to launch its Blur collection during this year's Salone del Mobile.

Handmade in Pakistan, the sequence of geometric shapes and repetition are definitive hallmarks of the Bouroullec brothers. Their mastery, meticulousness, and tireless ability to always go a step further have led them to work on this new collection that offers two different readings.

"When viewing the rug from afar, an indefinite, unfocused surface is apparent, that gives its name to the collection," explains Nanimarquina. "Nevertheless, upon approaching the rug, lines and rhythmic rhombuses in different proportions are revealed, in the purest kinetic style.

"This blurred effect has been achieved by inverting the sense in which the kilims are traditionally woven, which makes the process much more laborious. This change in weaving causes the lines to be blurred, mixing two colours unevenly, creating an aged rug, reminiscent of the past."
