The story of a flower captured with thematic color. Closely resembling one of his smile-inducing paintings, Santi Moix celebrates the natural life cycle with a design that speaks to us all in the Flora Bloom 2 Area Rug from Nanimarquina. Santi Moix appreciates the feeling of surprise, just as a blooming flower begins as a balled-up bud. In his work, Moix feels that to achieve the true surprising character of a flower, it is best to forget you are painting or designing a flower. The result of his approach is a story of life and death told by shapes of vibrant, neutral, and dark colors. Master artisans in India realize the Moix's vision with an intricately crafted 100% new wool construction. The painterly shapes are brought to life strand by strand with a pistol-like tool, then shaped and shaves for an ultra-soft yet tightly packed rug surface.
