Warli Finisterre Carpet
FINISTERRE CARPET
FINISTERRE CARPET
Designed By Paolo Zani/2021
The Latin expression Finis terrae, tells of the “boundary of the earth”. A series of concentric elements, expression of the limit of the physical world.
Finisterre is a very decorative carpet, very rich in colours, textures and made with different yarns. It is the westernmost point of our world, of our design. An archipelago of signs and shapes, the great attraction.

PRODUCT CARE
Vacuum regularly. Sweep the carpet surface with a soft broom or vacuum clean it in the direction of the pile. Blot stains immediately, possibly with very little water, dry instantly with white absorbing cloth and hair dryer. If, after the above treatments, you’re not able to remove the stains, or if the rug is placed in heavy traffic public areas, we recommend the service of a professional cleaner. Dry clean or steam wash only. The latex we use for attaching the cotton backing is water soluble and it may detach from the back if cleaned with water.
