The pattern of GAN's Lama rug is made with thick tie-dyed wool yarns, a method in which textiles are knitted and then dyed, and which in this case has been applied to individual strands. This technique produces color transitions in the form of gradients, a peculiarity that can be seen especially in the rug’s fringes.
Conceived by the internal design team at GAN, Lama is made on manual looms using 100% virgin wool yarns, and its pattern resembles that of burlap fabrics. Because its yarns randomly change color, the design is dynamic. It is available in three different sizes.
LAMA, A MODEL FROM GAN'S COLLECTION OF HAND LOOM RUGS
Deepening the possibilities offered by hand-operated looms, those at GAN have gone a step further by exploring not only the traditional flat hand-loom designs, but also elements with high volume, practically three-dimensional, using pure virgin wool that is knotted, cut, braided or looped.
LAMA IS A PROPOSAL FROM THE GAN DESIGN TEAM
At GAN develops their collections with external designers with whom we identify and share their philosophy: sensitivity for artisanal craft, experimental attitude and a personal style in contemporary proposals. In addition, their team also produces its own designs. Sometimes, they are the result of a custom design project, but other times they arise during the research phase for other manufacturing processes. The creative direction in both cases is led by their director, Mapi Millet, who has extensive experience as a textile designer.
