bicicleta rug.



bicicleta rug by ariadna miguel.

the bicicleta rug from nani marquina was born out of research into the possibility of using recycled rubber to create new textures. a trip to india, where bicycles are the primary mode of transport, was the inspiration for bicicleta.

each rug is made using 130/140 bicycle inner tubes, collected and processed in india.

    That was my first reaction. Bike tubes stink! Perhaps they seal them with something...?
