The iconic MANGAS SPACE collection, conceived by Patricia Urquiola for GAN, is celebrating its 10th anniversary. It has been a decade since the collection, a continuation of the award-winning MANGAS ORIGINAL, came to life, marking a before and after in the world of design with its modular and three-dimensional elements.
MANGAS SPACE stands as one of the most significant milestones in GAN’s catalog. The natural successor to MANGAS, one of the initial collaborations between the renowned architect and designer Patricia Urquiola and the brand, is an expansion that blurs the line between rug and furniture, emphasizing the exploration of generous textures and volumes that have given it its unique identity.
With MANGAS SPACE, Urquiola and the brand reaffirm their commitment to using natural materials, reviving artisanal techniques applied to contemporary design, and fostering innovation. Inspired by the aesthetics of hand-knit wool sweaters and the different patterns that sleeves can have, MANGAS SPACE offers rugs, modules, poufs, and cushions in a bold color palette to create voluminous, three-dimensional environments that break with traditional conventions and formats. These “GAN spaces” have become a true icon over the course of their ten-year existence.
“MANGAS SPACE builds upon the revolutionary character of MANGAS rugs in the world of design.”

The versatility and ability to create spaces define MANGAS SPACE. The modules, poufs, and cushions, available in a wide variety of colors in a daring palette and various sizes, can be combined to compose multiple settings. The rugs, breaking away from the conventional rectangular format and available in different sizes, can even hang on the wall like tapestries.
The diverse elements of MANGAS SPACE are crafted on manual looms capable of combining different textures of wool and volume, conveying the warmth sensation of the sweaters that serve as its foundational inspiration.
MANGAS SPACE ensures a warm and harmonious atmosphere that adapts to the user’s mood. It’s time to celebrate its birthday.
