For its new headquarters, Woodside Energy - operator of oil and gas production in Australia - commissioned indigenous Western Australian artist Jade Dolman to create a piece of art in the form of a rug for the ground floor lobby. In collaboration with Mobilia, nanimarquina accompanies you throughout the design and manufacturing process to make the best decisions at each stage.

The challenge of this project is multiple. On the one hand, the perfect gradient had to be achieved by translating the colors of the original work, identifying 47 shades. At the same time, the large format of the 10 x 16 m carpet forced it to be produced in 6 different sections that were later joined together. Finally, the organic design of the rug led us to opt for the hand tufting technique that allowed the interior lines to be left in relief while remaining faithful to the original work.

This commission has proven to be one of the most challenging and important carpet projects in Western Australia.
