Nisa

Inspired by Alentejo floral ceramics, Nisa is a wool rug sculpted with soft relief. The design emerges through shadow, not contrast. Floral forms are engraved on the surface like marks in clay, carved by hand in relief. A Portuguese handcrafted rug, made with tufting technique, that reveals gesture and tradition without nostalgia, with restraint, depth, and tactile presence.

About Nisa

01

Inspiration

Inspired by the traditional ceramics of Nisa, this rug interprets the floral motifs engraved on clay vessels with a new vocabulary: that of textiles.

Here, ornament is revealed within the very structure, like pieces moulded by hand and marked with simple gestures.

02

Technique

Nisa uses varying heights of cut wool to sculpt the pattern.

The absence of colour contrast highlights the relief work, requiring precision in cutting and control in density. This technique creates tactile, sophisticated surfaces where the design is suggested rather than declared.

03

Materials

Made of undyed natural wool, Nisa stands out for its sobriety and chromatic uniformity.

The absence of colour emphasises the relief and allows light to model the floral pattern. The wool’s texture offers a welcoming presence, yet one that is restrained, discreet, and confident—like the tradition that inspires it.
