NANIMARQUINA
www.nanimarquina.com Hall 3.2 – Stand D042 The story of Kerman rugs dates back to the 15th-century Persia, and precisely to that part of central Iran, lying between mountains and the Lut desert, where artisans mastered the art of weaving rugs of extraordinary sizes and designs. After a successful revival in the 19th century, with Kerman rugs coming back to its ancient splendor, in recent time they have been considered oldfashioned. But Martí Guixé, the Spanish designer famous for his unconventional and conceptual approach to food and commercial design, has given them a second chance.
The hand-knotted GHOST carpet made of 100% New Zealand wool features the mythical pictorial motifs of birds, flowers, horses and deer that appear and disappear magically within the black and white pattern of the carpet. Mr. Guixé said that he worked slowly over three months, translating his mood changes into graphic irregularities that give the pattern a touch of mysticism and mystery. GHOST in black and white, a mysterious and brilliant blend of past and present that remains faithful to the strange simplicity and seriousness of the artist’s work. Indeed, a fresh take on ancient rug craftsmanship.
