Interpreting Eames’s recurring butterfly motif, this woollen rug captures the delicate balance between definition and diffusion, echoing the layered quality of her original paper works. Conceived as part of nanimarquina’s homage to her visual language in textile form, the piece reflects a quiet interplay between structure and softness.
Hand-knotted Afghan wool combined with kilim weaving techniques results in variations in pile height and density, creating subtle shifts in texture and depth that showcase the craftsmanship behind each piece. Made by skilled artisans in India using traditional methods passed down through generations, each carpet carries a distinct tactile character that develops over time. Placed in your home, the Butterfly Wool Rug’s rich, expressive surface brings a refined yet grounded presence to any space.
Lucia Eames was an American artist raised within one of the 20th century’s most influential design partnerships. Born to Charles Eames and later raised in the creative household of Charles and Ray Eames, Lucia developed an intuitive artistic language shaped by nature, materiality and experimentation.
Working across collage, photography, textiles and mixed media, her largely private body of work explored texture, pattern and found materials with remarkable authenticity. In 2026, nanimarquina honoured Lucia Eames’s enduring artistic legacy through an eclectic collection of handwoven rugs and tapestries inspired by her original works, bringing her distinctive visual style into contemporary interiors.
