'Alga' Natural Wool and Jute Shag Rug by Nanimarquina

'Alga' Natural Wool and Jute Shag Rug by Nanimarquina

New for 2025, the striking Alga shag rug is a flowing organic shape woven using a hand-knotted technique and framed by a hand-loomed dhurrie.  Inspired by the marine fields in the beaches of Spain, this deep-pile shag rug uses several fibers, thread densities, and color variations to achieve a voluminous, layered effect. Both hands and feet can perceive the rug's nuances, creating an intimate connection with the material and color.  Nani Marquina carefully selected a neutral palette to create depth, with subtle yet deliberate touches of contrasting colors resulting in an organic color distribution that further enhances the rug’s sense of movement. 

Price per item. Executed in Afghan wool, New Zealand wool, new wool and jute. Alga is available in 3 colors (Off White, Ochre and Grey) and 4 sizes. Ships within 10 days for two smaller sizes. Lead time for two larger sizes is 16 weeks. Please contact us for time-sensitive projects or custom orders.

Nani Marquina founded her namesake company in 1987 in Barcelona. More than 30 years later, the company continues to offer artisanal rugs worldwide without compromising on design, quality, or aesthetics.

Please note that due to the organic and handmade nature of this fiber some variation in color may occur from piece to piece, which may become further pronounced with prolonged exposure to sunlight. Only one representative example of the rugs is shown in the images.

The Alga rug must ship directly from Nanimarquina’s fulfillment center. Shipping cost quoted is per item and cannot be combined. Please note that sales to New York state will be assessed sales tax on a separate invoice.
