Capas is an elegant collection of handmade rugs, designed by Mathias Hahn for Nanimarquina. The collection, composed by 5 different rugs available in 4 dimensions focuses on the creation and use of layers of colors, tonality and shadow to generate intense depth while also being easy enough to blend into any environment, due to the presence of a wide range of chromatic shades. The designer's starting point for the Capas rugs collection is his notion of shadows being never black or grey but full of color and geometry. The designer’s aim was to create a simple and light rug that has a casual feel to it while being complex in the use of colors and formation of depth. In order to achieve this, Nanimarquina and Mathias Hahn intensely studied the specifics of Kilim weaving techniques searching for new ways of distributing color. After months of investigation, both the designer and Nanimarquina developed a new type of loose Kilim structure which allows mixing the colors of the warp and weft. Normally, warp is not visible in a Kilim.
