WABISABI RUG

Wabisabi from nanimarquina is a rug celebrating Japanese beauty. Its influences include Hagi pottery, Ikebana flower arranging, gardens, the tea ceremony and poetry, including haiku. These traditions share an appreciation of imperfection, incompleteness and the passing nature of all things. Wabisabi resists a single-word definition: it invites us to contemplate change and recognise beauty in things as they are, rather than measure them against an ideal of perfection. Experimentation shapes the character of the Wabisabi Collection. Weaving becomes a process of discovery, where mistakes and unexpected results contribute to the pleasure of creating. Adjustments to the warp and weft produce shifting visual rhythms, building an undulating pattern whose irregularities give each piece depth and individuality. Contrasting colours make these variations more apparent, encouraging a closer appreciation of the details that give the design its imperfect beauty.
