contemporarypatternedNew Zealand wool

The perfect gift for a 30-year milestone, the Hayon x Nani is a dreamy, wild collection with a great sense of humour. Created with the hand tufting technique, a manually operated pistol injects pieces of wool, intuitive and fluid lines are achieved, as well as an organic composition. The definitive and faithful reproduction of the original sketch by the designer. A first glance reveals a chaotic tangle of colours and shapes that invade the rug. However, after looking carefully, the imagination of Jaime Hayon springs to life: turtles, lips, hands, stools, fish, half men – half birds… Hayon x Nani Rectangular Hayon x Nani Runner Fiber: 100% New Zealand wool Technique: Hand tufted Density: 56.000 knots/m2 Pile height: 10 mm Total height: 20 mm Hand tufted This technique requires a pistol-like tool to punch the fiber strands into a previously stretched fabric in a frame. To start the process, the strands are punched into the areas marked by the mapping (a template used to transfer the digital design to the rug support). Next, the protruding strands are cut and shaved to achieve the desired pile height. The design is contoured with scissors or a needle in order to correctly define the different areas of the motif. Once the motif is defined, a layer of latex is applied to the reverse side of the rug to ensure that the strands remain attached to the structure. To finish, a layer of fabric is affixed to act as a lining, offering a quality finish. This technique permits curvilinear shapes, different pile heights, as well as the application of different colors within the same rug. High density and durability.
