KALA Rugs are the result of a collaborative project between Nanimarquina and Care & Fair, a global association founded in 1994 to combat child labor and improve the quality of life of rug knotters in India Pakistan. Kala means "tomorrow" and "art" in Hindi. The goal of the Care & Fair initiative is to support children's creativity and imagination for a better future.
The collection features original drawings by students from Care & Fair schools in India. It is the tangible fusion of two worlds through the eyes of children, a fusion that occurs when beauty changes the world. Proceeds from the sale of these rugs are donated to the organization to finance the Amita school in Bhadohi (India).

Nani Marquina and Care & Fair
True to her design roots, Nani Marquina launched her namesake brand in 1987, a time in which contemporary rugs were non-existent in Spain.
After studying industrial design at the Escuela Massana of Barcelona and enjoying the success of her first bespoke textile designs, Nani launched nanimarquina, a brand dedicated to the design, creation, and distribution of rugs and textile products for the home, based on values such as observation, innovation, and enthusiasm, with the goal to use traditional craftsmanship and techniques to create contemporary pieces.
In 1993, Nani Marquina embarked on a daring business venture: she moved manufacturing facilities to the north of India. The further incorporation of craftsmanship and tradition as a new design concept marked a clear difference, consolidating the brand.
Throughout the years, the brand has garnered numerous awards such as the National Design Award and the Premi Cambra a la Gestió Empresarial (Chamber Award for Design Management) in 2005, as well as several nominations for the Príncipe Felipe Award for Company Excellence. Nani Marquina has also recently received the International Women’s Entrepreneurial Challenge Award from the Manhattan Chamber of Commerce, a personal achievement that led to the 2007 FIDEM Award for Entrepreneurial Woman of the Year. She has enjoyed tenure as the Chairwoman of ADP (Professional Design Association), and of Red (Reunión Empresas de Diseño). Starting in 2014, Nani Marquina is the President of the FAD, (Foment de les Arts i Disseny), in Barcelona.
Co-founded by Frits Janssen in 1995, then managed by his son Marc Janssen, CARE & FAIR aims to provide free education and medical care to families of rug knotters in India and in Pakistan.
Currently, CARE & FAIR supports 9 schools, 6 adult education centers and 3 day care clinics in India and in Pakistan.
