The designer of the Nomad collection, Alejandra Gandía-Blasco Lloret, took inspiration from the minimum of belongings with which nomadic communities move to create both this rug and a series of matching elements that would provide movement and deployment as agile as possible, seeking a double nomadism: both from one place to another and within the same space.
The Nomad Tuareg White rug is very thin and light, to such an extent that, in a way, it is reminiscent of a kilim. With its 70x70 cm flat pouf and matching 60x36 cm cushion, it is possible to create compositions at different heights to lie down, lie down or sit, with which you can project multiple informal, relaxed and changing scenarios and even structure environments. The idea of its designer is that with the sum and combination of the different elements and models of the collection, ephemeral spaces can be created capable of providing a feeling of home and rest, in the same way that nomadic peoples achieve.
The Nomad Tuareg White rug has a beige and white floral aesthetic, but the rest of the models in this collection have other colors and check patterns, in herringbone or wool knit. It is available in two sizes, with the possibility of special sizes. As it is made with PET fibers, it also allows outdoor use.
