The Pack rug is an original piece with a surface that looks like tiles. Using a single geometric figure, its asymmetric and apparently random design emerges from the alternation not only of three colors, but also of the vertical or horizontal orientation of this shape. The result is a striking textile mosaic, made with 100% virgin wool.
Another one of its peculiarities is that Pack does not have a traditional rectangular shape; instead, its edges are irregular and follow the silhouette of the figure that represents a tile. It is a design by Jose A. Gandía-Blasco Canales, made using the hand-tufted technique. It is available in two sizes.
PACK, A RUG FROM GAN'S HAND TUFTED COLLECTION
Hand-tufting is a manual rug-making method in which a special handheld tool shoots and cuts a portion of wool following a pattern over a stretched cotton fabric. This technique offers great freedom in terms of designs, thicknesses, finishes and colors. With it, GAN makes possible the impossible.
