Medina 1 Rug By Nanimarquina

"The Medina 1 Rug belongs to the MEDINA collection by Nanimarquina. A collection that represents the transformation of tradition into the contemporary. Its classic essence is achieved thanks to its handcrafted production in the north of Pakistan using a very old and traditional technique such as kilim. For desert nomads, a house is created from a rug, as rugs originally served to protect people from the ground. They represented an everyday object that, in addition to providing comfort, delimited the space. Over time, the rug has become a decorative element and a vehicle for cultural messages. In this technique, the wool is manipulated with a gun-like tool with which the threads are injected onto a fabric previously stretched on a frame. Finally, a fabric is applied as a lining, giving it a quality finish, with high density and durability. To achieve this, nanimarquina and Hahn intensively studied the specifics of the Kilim weaving technique in search of new ways to distribute color. "
