Colorado
Inga Sempé
Colorado marks the first collaborative collection between nanimarquina and Inga Sempé. A collection that harmoniously blends tradition and modernity.
This collection of ethnic-style rugs transcends the boundaries of weaving by combining the traditional with the contemporary, using ancient techniques such as chobi (handknotted) and kilim (flatweave).
Each Colorado rug is handwoven with meticulous attention to detail. The combination of these techniques creates a play of textures in two distinct heights, adding depth and complexity achieved by using different shade fibers and yarns.
The use of chobi gives these rugs an unparalleled visual richness to the piece, which is revealed by changes in light and movement. This inherent characteristic of the hand-spun wool together with the chobi technique lies in the interplay created by its weaving technique: the orientation of the fiber when tying the knot, its length, and the density of knots.
For Inga, the use of chobi was an indispensable issue.
"It's a material I consider luxurious and of high quality yet understated and not ostentatious. I envisioned it resembling the soft, irregular texture of a special animal's hair, offering a sense of luxury without being overt."
