Nanimarquina launches a new series of virtual conversations with top collaborators: Ilse Crawford, Ronan Bouroullec, Santi Moix and Jaime Hayon
Woven Talks is a series of four conversations where Nani Marquina (founder and designer) and her daughter and CEO Maria Piera Marquina will talk with a selection of nanimarquina’s top designers about central topics in the world of #design and how products come to life.
Through the intuitive weaving of a craftsman's work, we discover surprising results, as is the same of good conversation. #nanimarquina is matching up brilliant designers with leaders in their field for captivating discussions that are more important now than ever, and invites the #design community to join them live via webinar for each one.
“Collaborations are an essential part of our company; I believe that knowledge and talent must be shared. I have learned with every collaboration and it’s an honour to share the beautiful interactions that I’ve had with these amazing designers over the years with lots of people – I’m really looking forward to this.” N a n i M a r q u i n a
“Our Woven Talks series is created specially to connect with our clients and the #design community in general during the current situation and as we invest more deeply in digital and virtual communications. I’m happy to be sharing the conversations with Nani, my mum. We are a family run company and the values of our family are the same as the company – it’s important that people can get to know us this way.” M a r i a P i e r a M a rq u i n a
The idea behind this series is to discuss central themes woven into today’s #design industry and explore how products come to life from the minds and hands of the amazing designers that #nanimarquina has collaborated with throughout the years.

#2 #design PROCESS – December TBC, 2020. The second will be Ronan Bouroullec who will discuss the whole process of product development with moderator Sam Grawe.

#3 BEING CONTEMPORARY – January (date TBC). With third guest, artist Santi Moix, the idea is to explore what it means to be contemporary both in art and in #design.

This year #nanimarquina has launched Flora, a new collaboration with Moix, that explores the beauty and parallelism between life and death through his biomorphic flowers. Moderator and curator Aric Chen is well suited to discuss this intersection of art and #design.
