RE-RUG

design Nani Marquina

The RE-RUG collection, designed by Nani Marquina, was born from a wake-up call: the need to make use of excess production in Nanimarquina manufacturing workshops.

“I’ve always been struck by the mountains of wool that pile up over the years from overproduction in our suppliers’ workshops in India. Re-RUG came about to give them new life”, Nani Marquina explains.

Re-rug is the result of a long research process, the challenge of recovering these wools to create a new yarn suitable for weaving. Each Re-Rug uses 1 kg/m2 of reprocessed wool, thus contributing directly to reducing "unmanaged waste", as well as reducing CO2 emissions, since no virgin material has to be produced.

The Re-Rug collection is made using the hand-loomed dhurrie technique, resulting in rugs with a flat structure formed from the crossing between warp and weft. In the case of Re-Rug, in order to achieve greater resistance and quality, the structural part of the rug, i.e. the warp, is made of New Zealand virgin wool dyed black and white, yellow or blue, green or tile. And in the weft, marbled recycled yarn of variable thickness and color. The result is a unique collection made of 50% virgin wool and 50% reused wool.

Technique hand loomed - Type dhurrie - Density 18 600 yarns / ㎡

Nani Marquina

True to her design roots, Nani Marquina launched her namesake brand in 1987, a time in which contemporary rugs were non-existent in Spain.

After studying industrial design at the Escuela Massana of Barcelona and enjoying the success of her first bespoke textile designs, Nani launched nanimarquina, a brand dedicated to the design, creation, and distribution of rugs and textile products for the home, based on values such as observation, innovation, and enthusiasm, with the goal to use traditional craftsmanship and techniques to create contemporary pieces.

In 1993, Nani Marquina embarked on a daring business venture: she moved manufacturing facilities to the north of India. The further incorporation of craftsmanship and tradition as a new design concept marked a clear difference, consolidating the brand.

Throughout the years, the brand has garnered numerous awards such as the National Design Award and the Premi Cambra a la Gestió Empresarial (Chamber Award for Design Management) in 2005, as well as several nominations for the Príncipe Felipe Award for Company Excellence. Nani Marquina has also recently received the International Women’s Entrepreneurial Challenge Award from the Manhattan Chamber of Commerce, a personal achievement that led to the 2007 FIDEM Award for Entrepreneurial Woman of the Year. She has enjoyed tenure as the Chairwoman of ADP (Professional Design Association), and of Red (Reunión Empresas de Diseño). Starting in 2014, Nani Marquina is the President of the FAD, (Foment de les Arts i Disseny), in Barcelona.
