Little Field of Flowers
-
SPN Carpets, which is on the outskirts of Delhi, is the company that Nanimarquina tasks to manufacture their Boontje-designed rug, Little Field of Flowers. Here, a technician holds up a flower before it’s tucked into the loom. -
The completed rug is wildly textured with felt blossoms, which are the three-dimensional representations of patterns inspired by Boontje's sketches.
