15/04/09 - From April the 22nd to the 27th NANIMARQUINA will be exhibiting at the 48th edition of Salone Internazionale del Mobile in Milano.
Come and discover the new nanimarquina 2009 collections:
FORMOSA
The striking new nanimarquina collection is based on genuine pictorial works by the recognised contemporary artist Michael Lin. Formosa, recalling the old name given by Portuguese navigators
to the island of Taiwan in the 16th century, strives to transfer the painter’s concept to a carpet you can take it into your home.
Lin is a specialist in transforming vast, cold and anodyne spaces into organic fields of intense colours and behind the collection lie three years of meticulous work to reproduce his subtle use of colour on wool. Formosa brings you closer to his unmistakeable floral compositions on a small scale.

GLOBAL WARMING
Traditionally carpets have been tools to communicate a culture’s messages.
At nanimarquina we want to continue this practice. And so we have come up with our Global Warming collection as a platform for communication.
The Mexican design collective, Nel, found us a way to carry out such a project, a way of spreading a clear message: an invitation to reflect on the contemporary world around us. The
name says it all: global warming.
The loneliness of a small polar bear surrounded by nothing communicates the urgency of the message.
Global Warming is a proposition of hope; the potential for a better future, a possible world.

KALA
In Hindi Kala means “tomorrow” and also “art”. Nanimarquina’s initiative is to foster the creativity and imagination of children, in the hope of being successful in the future, by supporting Care&Fair.
Kala is the culmination of an integrated project that aims to unite India, our main producing country, with nanimarquina’s design. It is the tangible fusion of two worlds through the eyes of children.
The collection has been designed by the nanimarquina team based on original drawings by children at Care&Fair’s schools in India.
Kala’s sales will be invested in a new Care&Fair school in India.
A single combination of colours, a single size, a single dream.

LITTLE FIELD OF FLOWERS
Little Field of Flowers is a place at home where you’ll feel as if you’re resting in a sunny meadow on a hot summer day. Your own place for relaxing and daydreaming.
Following the philosophy of Studio Tord Boontje, this design gently softens angles, finding its inspiration in nature and playing with shapes and layers to seduce your imagination and
awaken your emotions.
