Lucia Eames Butterfly tapestry, 80 x 95 cm

Nanimarquina's Lucia Eames Butterfly tapestry brings the lively warmth of nature to the walls of private homes and public spaces alike. The wall hanging is handcrafted from Afghan wool using kilim weaving technique and features a subtle palette that plays beautifully with colour and contrast.

The butterfly motif was a recurring theme in the work of Lucia Eames. The daughter of Charles Eames often found her inspiration in the wonders of nature, butterflies and birds among them. Now those same winged creatures find new life in the Lucia Eames collection, a collaboration between rug brand nanimarquina, the Eames Office, and Danish studio Form Portfolios.
