Inspired by Eames’s intuitive hand drawings and lifelong habit of collecting and using fragments from nature in her art, the Discovery Rug captures the spontaneity and freedom of her artistic process. Unlike other pieces in the Lucia Eames™ collection, the design directly translates her original linework into woven form, preserving its playful rhythm and quiet sense of movement.
Hand-loomed in kilim from richly textured Afghan wool, the carpet combines weaving and embroidery to create a light, floating graphic expression across the surface. Durable yet refined, its flat construction is ideal for everyday living spaces where practicality and artistic character coexist beautifully - the Discovery Rug adds warmth and a distinctly expressive presence to your interiors.
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.
