Aino Aalto
(1894-1949) It was in 1924 that Aino Marsio went to work at architect Alvar Aalto's office. The two fell in love, married and began a long partnership. In 1932, Alvar Aalto, was beaten by his wife in a design competition. The winning entry, "Aalto glasses", also won a gold medal at the Milan Triennale. These and other items of glassware designed by Aino Aalto are made for everyday use. Their simple and yet timeless design continues to be part of our life 60 years on.

Nanimarquina
A brand has many faces and each product always tries to give a synthesis of all of them: of who thinks up the product, of who makes it, who looks after it and all those who enjoy it. When This, together with the ongoing and consistent work of research and creation, is what makes a personal project a snapshot of its time.
Our immediate context speaks to us of East and West, of a return to our roots, of new uses and concepts and, above all, it speaks to us of the commitment to integrate new voices into our reality. All these voices tell us about a world that begins and ends with sensations.
Nanimarquina was founded in 1987 as a brand dedicated to the design and edition of rugs and textiles. Since the beginning, the company has designed its products paying special attention to research into raw materials and manufacturing processes. First creations were carpets designed by Nani Marquina herself, in geometrical forms and bright colours, very in tune with the eighties look. After these had been well received, with the aim of establishing the concept of designer carpets, she commissioned several internationally renowned designers to create new carpets. In 1988 all expectations were exceeded, and the rugs of Mariscal, Peret, Eduard Samsó and Nani Marquina were exported abroad. That same year, nanimarquina decided to launch the concept of collections, with series developing the same design with variations in size and colour. In 1989, and with the same spirit of innovation, the company produced other textiles such as blankets, printed fabrics, towels and cushions.
Having established her name worldwide, nanimarquina embarked in 1993 on her most ambitious business venture: manufacturing in the north of India, where the tradition of craftsmanship offered levels of quality seldom to be found in western industry. From the very beginning, this fusion was based on work rationalisation strategies that allow the craftsmen to attain better levels of productivity without resorting to mechanisation. This combination did not take long to influence the development of the pieces themselves, allowing rigorous experimentation increasingly far removed from mass production.
Today, nanimarquina is a market leader in the textile decoration sector, and its collections are successfully marketed in over forty-five countries across five continents. Loyal to its principles, it currently works with young designers such as Ana Mir, Emili Padrós, Mariana Eidler, Oriol Guimerà, Martí Guixé, Tord Boontje, Ricard Ferrer, Martín Azúa and Gerard Moliné.
In 2005, the second generation was incorporated into the management of the Company and a new line of rugs aimed at the professional sector was presented: nanimarquina basic.
In 2006 the company receives the National Design Award for the development of a business rooted in design. In the same year nanimarquina is awarded with the Premi Cambra a la Gestió del Disseny 2005 (Chamber Award of Design Management) granted by Chamber of Comerce of Barcelona and BCD. The company won the The Set of the Stand and its Content Award and the Press Award at Valencia Furniture Fair 2006 and Nani Marquina received the Premio FIDEM a la Mujer Emprendedora 2006 (FIDEM Award to the Businesswoman 2006). In 2007 the firm got two nominations to the Príncipe Felipe Award for Company Excellence 2006-2007 and to the Design modality and Business Competence PYME.
Good news! Our Little Field Of Flowers rug goes on ripping sucess. After winning the Red Dot product prize and the Merit Award of Singapore Design Award, Tord Boontje's creation for nanimarquina has already been nominated by Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Technologie of Berlin for the German Design Award 2008.
Design Award Of the Federal Republic Of Germany is the Germany's official one and is organized by German Design Council.
Winners will be announced next september 2007. We'll cross our fingers!
So that makes two!

There were 2,500 candidate products from 43 different countries, but the jury awarded our carpet Little Field Of Flowers, designed by Studio Tord Boontje for nanimarquina, the prestigious “Red Dot for Superior Design Quality 2007” prize. The reasons? "Its sophisticated, innovative design".
