calder collection rugs

Inspired by the famous hanging mobiles of American sculptor Alexander Calder, these irregular wool rugs are conceived to live amongst each other, forming attractive combinations. This collection is part of nanimarquina's Zoom series, although it makes use of different sizes and wools. There are three models and each can be found in two colors, making it possible to have dynamic unions that alternate warm and cold tones. A tribute to the pioneer of kinetic art, conveying the essence of movement on the floor.

Wool from New Zealand sheep is a natural, sustainable and biodegradable fiber. This beautiful wool is hypoallergenic, it is easy to care for, ages well and holds its color. It also minimized noise levels, while it creates a relaxing and comfortable environment.

Hand tufting is a manual weaving process that uses a pistol-shaped contraption. The rug's design is made over a taut cotton fabric and weaved with a tufting gun, which pushes and cuts sections of wool thread that are fastened to the base with a layer of latex.
