Colorado rugs by Inga Sempe for Nanimarquina

Dezeen Showroom: French designer Inga Sempé and Spanish brand Nanimarquina have collaborated to launch a collection of handwoven rugs made from wool.

Colorado was designed by Sempé using two ancient handweaving techniques – hand knotted chobi and flatwoven kilim – in an effort to blend "tradition and modernity", said Nanimarquina.

The use of handweaving and hand-knotting techniques provides each Colorado rug with variations in surface texture, accentuated by the use of different coloured woolen yarns.

They are available in four sizes and four colours named ashes, clay, moss and sand.

The handwoven wool rugs are made in four different colours

"The concept originated from her desire to avoid using figurative or geometric patterns, which can sometimes feel overwhelming in a room," said Nanimarquina.

"Instead, she sought to utilise small lengths of leftover thread, connecting them together to create something unique," it continued.

"I envisioned it resembling the soft, irregular texture of a special animal's hair, offering a sense of luxury without being overt," added Sempe.
