VIDEO: Losanges collections/ the Bouroullecs for nanimarquina
The Bouroullec brothers continue their study of simplicity and elegance with their new Losanges collection for nanimarquina. It’s about reinterpreting the traditional Persian rug using the ancient kilim technique. Technically complex, the Losanges collection requires great skill as it involves combining 13 colours through the geometrical rhombus shape, a great challenge for the craftsmen of Northern Pakistan. As well as being crafted by hand, the Afghan wool is also spun by hand, which allows for some unique colour tones to be highlighted which make each rhombus different and each rug a unique item.
