TOPO

Meet the Visionary: Marc Morro

The innovative spirit of Nanimarquina is perfectly encapsulated in collaborations with designers like Marc Morro. Marc is a left-handed furniture designer, born in 1983 on the island of Mallorca and currently based in Barcelona. He is known for developing his own furniture collections and providing creative and development services for commissioned and custom furniture for various clients, brands, and companies.

A good friend describes Marc's work as being "not about limits or sophistication; it's about honesty and radical austerity. It's about the search for archetypes where a chair is a chair and a table is a table". His pieces are characterized as being "somewhere between rough and immediate, are above all always forceful and harmonious". This philosophy of seeking the essential and archetypal resonates deeply within his collaboration on the Topo collection.

Topo: An Exploration of Essential Forms

The Topo collection, designed by Marc Morro for Nanimarquina, is a captivating exploration of essential geometry, primary color, and spatial strength. It stems from a desire to return to the elemental: basic geometric forms, primary colors, and simplicity imbued with meaning.

A Powerful Visual Statement

What makes Topo visually striking is its unique composition:

"A large circle, positioned at the very edge of the rectangular area. A powerful visual tension."

Layers of Interpretation

The Topo rug offers multiple layers of interpretation, allowing it to adapt to various contexts and moods. It can function as:

• A focal point
• A refuge
• A point of departure
• Simply a graphic pause on the floor

Crafted with Care and Tradition

Each rug in the Topo collection is a testament to traditional craftsmanship, meticulously hand-woven as a kilim using hand-spun Afghan wool. This blend of textile tradition with a radically contemporary aesthetic makes Topo a truly unique design rug.

The collection embraces a monochromatic palette, available in three distinct versions, each set against a raw background:

• Topo Rug Black
• Topo Rug Green
• Topo Rug Red

The Topo collection is more than just a series of rugs; it is an invitation to rethink the boundaries of functional design and to rediscover the beauty of the essential. At TAPPETI.it, we are proud to offer such pieces that embody profound design philosophy and exceptional artistry.
