Competition: win a Capas kilim rug by Nanimarquina

The main colour in the Capas 3 rug is blue, with multiple contrasting tones
Each rug has a main colour, a complementing tone and a darker gradient that gives the illusion of the cast shadow. Nanimarquina likens the way the colours interact to music, with the main colour and its subsidiaries creating a harmonious chord.
One reader will win the Capas 3 rug, which takes the colour blue as its starting point, but can "blend into any environment, due to the presence of a wide range of chromatic shades".
The rug comes in five different colourways including this yellow version
The kilim rug ? otherwise known as a flatweave rug ? measures 170 centimetres by 240 centimetres and is hand-loomed from 100 per cent Afghan wool.
