Designed by Patricia Urquiola, the Bandas collection revolves around a set of ten individual runners, which can be joined through a simple velcro system to create larger area rugs, or used as covers for which the modules and poufs in the collection. Ten designs with which you can create countless combinations.
The collection is made by hand, using two types of textiles and techniques: a fine fabric, made on a manual loom, serves both to cover the modules and poufs and as a base for the runners themselves, on which the details are hand-embroidered and crocheted by artisans from India.
Bandas is one of GEN’s more flexible proposals, and open to customization. Not only because of all of the possible combinations offered by the ten different designs, but also because of the modular character of its elements. In addition, the possibility of using the same design in both the seating elements and in the rugs produces a unique and original continuity effect between the seat and the floor.
