Palacio de Congresos Kursaal de Donostia San Sebastián (España) 2006

The opportunity to work with Michael Lin (a Taiwanese plastic artist whose work we have long admired) arose as the result of a project for the international show DFOTO. The commission came to us through Enrique Ordóñez, the president of the Fundación Ordóñez-Falcón de Fotografía (COFF), who asked us to manufacture a rug of
this artist for the entrance to the Palacio de Congresos Kursaal in San Sebastián.
For the manufacture of this rug, the design team reinterpreted the sketches that Michael Lin had provided us with, and translated the pantone colours provided by the artist into wool. The result was a unique 6m x 8m rug in 100% wool (New Zealand), which would later be adapted to standard measurements to form part of the nanimarquina catalogue, under the name of the Formosa collection.
