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.
The idea of the designers of the Ascense collection, the Valencian studio Arnau Reyna, was to create pieces that played with the human eye's ability to perceive color, through gradients that generate a visual effect like ramps that ascend and connect with each other. A way of rising through the richness and potential of color, combining optical illusions, dynamism, and symbolism.
So that the gradients in earth tones are capable of transmitting this effect and reflecting, at the same time, the chromatic essence of Nepalese landscapes, each rug integrates more than 250 different yarn shades, which allows for the execution of subtle and fluid color transitions, as well as a gradient with a high level of visual detail. This complex production is possible thanks to the master artisans of Nepal who craft the rugs of our GAN EDITION series, specializing in the hand knotted technique.
The rugs of the Ascense collection are made with 100% New Zealand wool, so they are suitable for use in interior spaces. The rectangular Terra model measures 200 x 320 cm and is also available as a runner rug, as well as in blue tones.
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.
