The "Wall notes" rugs are works of textile art, whose brushstrokes are materialized with colored wool yarns woven on recycled cotton canvas. It is a unique and original work resulting from the collaboration of the artist Edgar Plans and the Lorena Canals brand.

Plans and Canals' collaboration also comes to life through the pages of the limited edition textile book "Libro Sensorial" (Sensory Book). The book narrates in textile illustrations the collaborative process by which Lorena Canals turned Edgar Plans' characters (animal heroes) into a collection of fun washable wool rugs and cotton knitted cushions, designed for children's decoration. A sort of textile scrapbook, totally handmade, it includes miniature rugs, embroidered phrases of the characters, design sketches and even a removable hand-stitched superhero mask.
