The possibility of working with Michael Lin (Taiwanese plastic artist whose work we had admired for a long time) arose as a result of the project for the international DFOTO fair. The order came through Enrique Ordóñez, president from the Ordóñez-Falcón Photography Foundation (COFF), who asked us to make a rug by said artist for the entrance to the Kursaal Conference Center in San Sebastián.

To carry out the manufacture of said piece, the design team reinterpreted the sketches that Michael Lin had provided us and translated the pantones provided by the artist into wool.

The result was a unique 6m x 8m rug in 100% wool (New Zealand), which was later adapted to standard measurements to be part of the Nanimarquina catalog with the name Formosa collection.
