The Capas collection focuses on the creation and use of layers of colours, tonality and shadow to generate intense depth while also being easy enough to blend into any environment, due to the presence of a wide range of chromatic shades.

Hahn’s starting point for the Capas collection is his notion of shadows being never black or grey but full of colour and geometry. The designer’s aim was to create a simple and light rug that has a casual feel to it while being complex in the use of colours and formation of depth. In order to achieve this, nanimarquina and Hahn intensely studied the specifics of Kilim weaving techniques searching for new ways of distributing colour.

After months of investigation, nanimarquina and Hahn developed a new type of loose Kilim structure which allows mixing the colours of the warp and weft. Normally, warp is not visible in a Kilim. By defining a different density of warp new tonalities surfaced, providing a visual texture where colours intertwine with each other along the carpet. The unique texture creates a dark-and-light effect and great profundity without becoming heavy. Like the layers of air in the atmosphere that reflect light and cast shadow.
