The B Orange runner is one of ten elongated rug designs that make up the Bandas collection. Its geometrical pattern is based on rectangles of varying sizes, arranged as if they were crosswalks, and embroidered by hand and with crochet needles using orange threads on a base of neutral color.

Conceived by Patricia Urquiola, the Bandas collection is one of GAN's more flexible lines, with a modular design open to personalization: a simple system of velcro strips allows the coupling of a series of thin and elongated rugs or bands (hence the name of the collection) to modules that function as seats and poufs, or to each other, forming larger rugs. Ten designs with dynamic and cheerful embroideries, with which you can create countless combinations.

Each of the ten runners is reinforced with a removable flat piece of metal in its corners so that they do not move or curl up when attached to other runners. Each one includes the velcro strips needed to connect it to other models.

Bandas is handcrafted using two types of textiles and techniques: a fine fabric, made on a manual loom, serves both to cover the modules and poufs and as a base for the runners themselves, on which the details are hand-embroidered by artisans from India.

BANDAS, A GAN SPACES COLLECTION

GAN spaces are collections meticulously constructed from innovative concepts and artisanal production methods. Suggestive approaches that, stemming from a rug, are capable of bringing to life a whole family of modules and accessories with which to design an environment or “space”. A set of designs linked together, designed to project stimulating and contemporary atmospheres with an open, flexible and casual configuration.
