Eduardo Chillida, born in 1924, is ranked among the most acclaimed sculptors of the second half of the 20th century. His Collage from 1966 is a fine example of the abstract expressionist movement that included Robert Motherwell, Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Willem de Kooning and Philip Guston. Eduardo Chillida spent the early years of his artistic career in Paris, where Ancient Greek sculpture as well as the works of avant-garde masters like Gaston Lachaise, Le Corbusier and Picasso really influenced his work. Chillida is regarded as a vanguard among his contemporaries for the dialog he created between monumental works and their surrounding spaces. His work is characterized by elemental forms, pared down to satisfy his essentially ascetic vision.

The exceptional collection of Chillida area rugs by Nanimarquina is based on a chronological selection of Chillida's most celebrated works. These modern works of art are accurately translated by Nanimarquina into fine area rugs which can also be used as decorative wall art. All of these fine rugs are handmade using various techniques and different materials like wool, silk and mohair. Each rug is fully authorized the by Eduardo Chillida's estate and takes several master rug artisans up to 12 weeks to create.

Nanimarquina rugs carry the "Care & Fair label", an organization that since 1995 acts against child labor.

We can make custom rug sizes according to your space, as long as the size respects the original proportions of the artwork.
