After studying Architecture and Industrial Design together, Ramón Arnau and Mariola Reyna founded their own multidisciplinary design studio in Valencia in 2018. Their work moves between furniture and lighting design, creative direction, interior design, and ephemeral architecture, standing out for their search for a complex balance between a simple and, at the same time, iconic and timeless character. In their creative processes, the primary purpose is for the design to establish a deep connection with the user and the spaces they inhabit, through proposals that formally move them and transcend fleeting fashions.
For the making of the Ascense collection rugs, more than 250 different yarn shades are necessary, as well as expert artisans in hand-knotting. For this reason, this runner rug model in blue tones belongs to our GAN EDITION series, whose collections are crafted in Nepal with artisans specialized in the hand knotted technique, using 100% New Zealand wool. Its chromatic complexity and its knot-by-knot execution are what allow for achieving the subtle and fluid color transitions of its gradients, with such a high level of detail.
Arnau Reyna, creators of the Ascense collection, sought a design that fused optical illusions, dynamism, and symbolism, which, on one hand, would be capable of transmitting the visual effect of rising while, on the other, reflecting the chromatic essence of Nepalese landscapes. A proposal that plays with the human eye's ability to perceive color, generating a visual effect like ramps that ascend and connect with each other.
The Aqua runner rug from the Ascense collection is an interior design that measures 80 x 310 cm and is also available in earth tones, as well as in a rectangular format.
Ascense is a model from our premium line GAN EDITION
With GAN EDITION, we promote the fusion between contemporary creation and ancestral traditional crafts from various cultures. The result is proposals with an exceptional and innovative design, as they are crafted using techniques as meticulous and complex as hand knotted, specific to the artisans of Nepal. Their mastery in the meticulous dyeing of the yarn, thread by thread—through which they achieve more than 200 nuances of color, combined with the manual knotting technique, ensures that each GAN EDITION design reaches an astonishing definition, allowing for fluid and organic color transitions that can only be achieved through the patience of knot-by-knot work.
