I discovered Nani Marquina during a field trip of my Visual Culture in the City of Barcelona class. We went to a field trip to visit a store and the owner recommended us to take a look at Nani's store.
Her work with textiles is absolutely brilliant...more like out-of-this-world beautiful. Dwell Magazine wrote an article called Little Field of Flowers on her and her process where it describes her carrer:
Nanimarquina—In 1987, Barcelona-based designer Nani Marquina established a textile and rug design studio. Since 1993, the company’s designs have been manufactured in northern India. Marquina has devoted her career to promoting sustainable ethics in production. Her definition of “sustainable” applies both to materials (her rugs are mostly biodegradable, and one, Bicicleta, is made from recycled bike inner tubes) and to fair labor and trade practices. In 2006, Nanimarquina introduced Little Field of Flowers, the first rug by Netherlands-born, England-trained, France-based Tord Boontje.
